international artist-in-residence program in rural Finland


















PROGRAM

art centre Saksala ArtRadius – Saksalanharju – Haukivuori is a unique place for children and adults to be active with art, to enjoy nature and to retreat.

This summer there will be color all over the place, the front yard of Saksala ArtRadius will be transformed into a knitted garden. During spring and summer different artists will create objects to decorate the trees, masts, and other objects. Every one (children and adults) who likes to make something is welcome to start knitting, crocheting and also weaving and to add these results to the yard or the street. At the end of the summer the yard of Saksala as well as the center of the village shall be changed through this community art event into a colorful and exiting environment.

Some places of Saksala ArtRadius are mysterious like the forest- and children’s-LABYRINTH.
The whole summer invited artists will organize workshops to work with natural materials in the LABYRINTH. It is possible to make small objects, decorations and also to paint banners and kites. Children can create secret places out of different materials and decorate these with all kind of natural materials.
Adults can participate in art workshops about nature, landscape and light. The activities are planned throughout the summer.

The theme of the annual exhibition of the history of Haukivuori is related to the community activities and will show traditional embroideries, knitting, weaving etc as made by local people in the past. Next to this exhibition the art center shows also art works of Finnish and international artists during summer.
The LABYRINTH and in the sculpture park are inviting places to walk and to see art different small and big works.
The art center will also show the art works which children and students of the local schools have made during the program THIS IS OUR NATURE the view of young people on local nature and environment. A part of these works will also be printed in a book.

The end of the summer the TAIDEKIRPPUJEN YÖ the traditional event with art and culture activities is planned. It is a pleasure to introduce this year there an art fair with artists from Etelä-Savo who will present and sell small art works.
