The artists are given a chance to showcase their work by organizing an open studio event and an exhibition in the end of their residency period. The in-residence period varies from one month to four months.

The KK AiC – Artist in Community builds co-operation between health and social services and art professionals. The programme brings artists to work with groups and communities through intensive work periods. This in-depth familiarisation enables versatile utilisation of the artists’ skills from the perspectives of meaningful everyday life, wellbeing and communality. The residence artists will work with a specific social and health unit or units, mainly mental health rehabilitators, disabeled and immigrants, during the approximately two-month-long residence period that includes getting acquainted with the operation, artistic work and introducing art activities to social and health personnel. It is also important to expand the residence activities outside of the social and health unit to affect the community in a larger sense. The pre-seected artist will be offered a tailored proposal with more detailed information about the residency period, accommodation and location, that can be either in Ii or other municipalities of the Oulunkaari region. The residency artists will be hired as community artists to the EU-funded Lähde! -project for 2350€ / month and offered accommodation and some materials during the residency period.
