Ukraine Solidarity Residencies
Ukraine Solidarity Residencies offer residencies and accommodation for Ukrainian and Ukraine-based artists and art professionals that have been effected by the war in Ukraine. The aspirations of the collaboration are to promote solidarity by establishing sustainable support networks and finding the means for Ukrainian artists to continue their practices.
The program was started in March 2022 by a group of independent art organisations who joined together to pool resources and share information. The current partners of the programme are AARK, Connecting Points programme, Fairres, Frame Contemporary Art Finland, Goethe-Institut Finnland, HIAP – Helsinki International Artist Programme, Loviisa Art Support Association, Nelimarkka Museum, Pro Artibus, The Finnish Artists’ Studio Foundation, The Finnish Illustration Association Kuvittajat, Tohmajärvi Residency and Saari Residence maintained by Kone Foundation.
The residencies are located in various places, mostly around southern Finland. Accommodation, travel and living costs of the residents are covered as part of the program. The residency period generally lasts from 3 months with the possibility of continuation. The residencies can host a single artist or artist with family members (up to 4 people).
