Pro Artibus Foundation’s programme of short and long-term residencies exists to support artistic activity.
Set amid the natural beauty of Snäcksund in Tammisaari, c. 100 km South-West of Helsinki, is Pro Artibus’ The Villa and The Croft residency programme. There is an opportunity here for undisturbed immersion in artistic work and research, along with development without the demand for specific end results. In Vaasa the Foundation has the Solsidan residence and an art-education collaboration with the Faculty of Education and Welfare Studies at Åbo Akademi University – Vasa.
The Villa
The Villa is a three-year residency programme aimed at Finnish-Swedish artists and curators.
The Croft

Solsidan
The Vaasa programme consists of art-education development work run in collaboration with the Faculty of Education and Welfare Studies at Åbo Akademi University – Vasa. The goal of the residency is to create models for how contemporary art and artists can be integrated into the teaching in basic education.
