VARDØ AIR

Vardø AiR is an artist residency program being developed from 2025 to 2027. Its core purpose is to use interdisciplinary art and culture as a force for community development over time in Vardø, Northern Norway's oldest town, by nurturing interaction and local involvement between locals and visiting artists. This project was piloted in May 2025 with three Finnish artists in residence, Saara Kumpulainen, Eeva-Liisa Puhakka and Jenni-Juulia Wallinheimo-Heimonen, as a part of the collaboration E75 Art Bus.
