Various workshops provide our guests the chance to use many kinds of materials and techniques while working here. Residency is suitable for both artists who are seeking to work with permanent artists of different fields, as well as for those who are implementing their own projects.

Artists of Järvilinna accept visiting artists to work at their workshops to the best of their abilities. Working can be arranged to take place in one or more workshops during the residency. The working can be either independent or the permanent artists can provide help and guidance with materials and equipment.
