The Haihatus Residency Open Call for February–April 2027 is open until 31 October 2026 at 23:59. You can apply individually, as a duo or as a working group. We also have a few last-minute residency spots available for September–October 2026. Please contact us by email to inquire about availability.
The international artist residency at Art Centre Haihatus is located in Joutsa, Central Finland. The residency offers a peaceful environment for independent work, as well as opportunities to meet and collaborate with other resident artists.
The open call welcomes artists from different fields, art students and other creative professionals. There is no requirement to produce a finished work or other outcome during the residency – you can use the time to focus on your own practice and develop your project. If you wish, you can also organise an exhibition, performance, workshop or artist talk during your stay.
