Programme

Finnish Artists' Studio Foundation FASF started an international artist exchange programme in Tapiola Guest Studio in 1997.

Tapiola Guest Studio programme consists of visual artist exchange between Internationales Austauch- und Atelierprogramm Region Basel - iaab in Switzerland (since 1997) and Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec - CALQ in Canada (since 1998). Artists from these countries come to the guest studio for a working period of 4-6 months and Finnish artists have the same opportunity abroad reciprocally. The programme provides time and space for creative work and a possibility to make contacts with Finnish artists.

Building

The Tapiola studio building was built in 1955 for Finnish visual artists. It was designed by professor, architect Aulis Blomstedt. The single-storey row-house type wood building houses four working spaces of 83 m² (with living balcony) and six 100 m² live-in-studios.

Location

The studio building is located in Espoo , 8 kms away from the centre of Helsinki. It lies in a park-like setting just beside the sea.

Studio

One studio, 83 m² in total, with a living balcony of 15 m². Fully equipped for visual artist with telephone and an internet-connection. There's also a sauna in the building.
