Residency
The Art Center Järvilinna rents permanent working studios for local artists and residencies for visiting artists. It is located by the lake Leppävesi in Laukaa in central Finland, 15 km away from Jyväskylä. The main building – Villa – is surrounded by several other smaller buildings, in which we have a printmaking studio, blacksmith, ceramic studio and casting workshop. There are also one painter and a carpenter. The Art center is surrounded by a large park and forest and offers a peaceful place for artists, who seek for silence and privacy.
We have had residents from Finland, Estonia, Slovenia, Japan, Russia, Poland, Italy, Germany and France.
During or in the end of the residency, the residents have an opportunity to have an “open table show” at the Villa of Järvilinna. Residents can also rent an exhibition room for 125 €/month.
Residency in Artcenter Järvilinna is run by to Kauko Sorjonen Foundation.
