Fall into Focus residency program is for artists, writers and researchers who want to concentrate on their creative practice, projects, writing or research. The program brings together creative individuals from various different fields and backgrounds.
The autumn residency period at Arteles Creative Center provides residents with the optimal conditions for sustained concentration. The program offers flexible time and space to freely develop creative projects without external pressure. Residents also have the option to refine and improve their focus through daily scheduled meditation sessions. Periods of deep focus can be balanced with walks in pure Nordic nature, relaxation in traditional Finnish sauna, and time around the bonfire with a supportive community of peers. All participation in group events & activities is voluntary.
