the residence
Fairres is an eco residence that uses only non-toxic and sustainable materials. We encourage the residence artist to recycle all trash and use the residence bikes for moving around in Porvoo. The residence is located 1,5km from Porvoo centre and 500m from the beautiful archipelago in Uddas.
The 45m² residence can be booked for 1-4 persons for a minimum of one week. We welcome family members with children. Note that the residence is not free of charge, unless there is an open call for specific artists and projects.
Fee: 350€/ week (+40€/ any additional person)
The check-in for the week is on Monday and the departure on Sunday.
Please note that any travelling costs, food and supplies are also paid for by the artist.
