## Description

The Finnish Cultural Foundation offers grants for international artists' residency programs. Artists can apply for either one of the Foundation's partner residencies or a mobility grant for self-organized international work. Recipients are awarded a working grant, a travel grant, and may apply for an additional expenditure grant to cover costs like materials or assistants. The working grant is €32,000 per year, with a higher amount for postdoctoral research. Travel grants vary by destination, and supplementary grants are available for eco-friendly travel. The application period for 2027 residencies closes on August 31, 2026.
