Enter Text

Residency program for poets, writers & text-based artists at Arteles Creative Center in Hämeenkyrö, Finland. 1 month perdiods in October/November 2015.

Fiction writing, visual/sound/trad. poetry, graphic novels, code art, calligraphy, typography… All to be equally greeted with joy & creativity in Finland with other enthusiastic, international text artists & writers.


Silent nature & solitude

Surrounded by beautiful forests, fields and lakes, Arteles Residency provides the perfect setting for intense writing and mindplay close to the nature. The same award-winning landscapes (European Union Landscape Award 2009) have also been an inspiration for F. E. Sillanpää, the Nobel Prize winning author born and raised in the region.

The predefined structure of the program is very flexible, allowing you all the time & space you need in order to take your work where it wants to go. Weekly group meetings are a good chance for feedback and discussions, but if you feel more like barricading in your writer’s chamber, you are completely free to do so, as all participation is 100 % voluntary.


Experiment freely

To accompany the intensive solo practice, the program is an excellent opportunity to join forces with other text-based creatives from around the world. Share, examine, go cross-genre – play around and see what comes out. Brainstorms to be finished in the heat of the traditional Finnish sauna.
