Saari Residence
The Saari Residence, maintained by the Kone Foundation, is a country house located in Mynämäki, in the southwest of Finland, that offers itself as a temporary residence for artists of all disciplines and nationalities to come together and create.
The Saari Residence offers artists and researchers an excellent opportunity to focus undisturbed on creative work in the scenic surroundings of a rural manor house. It creates opportunities for interaction with other residents, and the possibility for multidisciplinary work. Begun in 2008, the project sees a wide array of artists from across the spectrum come to stay for a period of 2 months to focus upon their craft, meet, share, and leave their mark on each other’s thoughts, work and the residence itself.
