art centre

International art centre Saksala ArtRadius can be found near lake Kyyvesi in the lake district of Finland. The main wooden building is built in the twenties and is a traditional lock building (hirsi talo). In this part the AllaprimA MuseuM is housed and there is a main room with a surprising library and internet access. In this part is also a room with machinery and tools. In the left wing of the wooden part is the main atelier in the attic.

In the sixties the old people's home has been expanded with a stone part. The new spacious studios are located in this part.
The artist-in-residence program for professional artists has an interesting special component for students in the arts and art education to study their final art practice. In the basement are work spaces and an atelier.

Around the buildings are fields and forests. In front of the yard is the LABYRINTH located.

The art centre has the expertise in the fields of art, symposiums, art education, children's art projects, and can offer special programs and projects for students of art academies, teacher training colleges and art education studies.
