FCINY RESIDENCIES

Since 1990, the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York has hosted over 600 Finnish or Finland-based visual arts professionals. The focus of the residency lies on research, networking and project based work. The institute grants residencies for 1–3 months at a time. To get the most out of your residency, we recommend 2–3 -month residency periods. For specific projects, we may grant 1-month residencies as an exception.

The FCINY residencies are supported, but not fully funded. The selected artists / architects / designers cover their travel and living costs for the residency period. FCINY collects a residency fee, the amount of which depends on the duration of the residency. The selected residents are encouraged to seek grants for covering the expenses.
