Ett nytt samhällskonstverk växer fram i Korsnäs💛
Yhteisötaide | Community Art

Under våren har Regionalt resurs- och residenscenter för samhällskonst tillsammans med Korsnäs kommun arbetat med att skapa en muralmålning på bibliotekets fasad. Genom workshops och samtal har invånare i olika åldrar delat med sig av sina tankar om Korsnäs idag och sina visioner för framtiden.

Den här veckan har vi grundmålat fasaden tillsammans med konstnären Jon Gredmark.

Muralen växer fram ur Korsnäsbornas egna berättelser, minnen och idéer, och kommer att färdigställas under sommaren.

🌼Välkommen, Tervetuloa, Welcome🌼

På invigning 3 augusti som en del av Världsarvsveckans program. Mer info delas närmare vernissagen. Vi ser fram emot att visa det färdiga verket med er.🫶🏼

Pride by Night - Thank you for your love🩷

Mother Earth truly showed up for us — wrapping the whole evening in golden light, soft skies, and blooming beauty.

Together, we laughed, created, connected, and poured little pieces of ourselves into the stones we painted side by side… which later became one beautiful collective artwork made with love.

In our most blossoming garden, guided us through a magical One Love cacao ceremony — a moment that felt soft, powerful, playful, and deeply together all at once.

🧡THANK YOU
💚TACK
💛KIITOS

To every one who came, danced, created, shared, held space, shared smiles, hugs and co-created this night with us. You made the magic real.

This evening was built by all of us, heart to heart, together, in love.

Here are some glowing little moments from our night together.✨

Midnight Sun Residency🌞✨

Escape to the Finnish countryside and experience the Midnight Sun Residency — a space for rest and creation. Surrounded by river, sea, and wild nature, it offers peaceful accommodation, creative workshops, and traditional sauna experiences under endless summer light.

With sunlight around the clock, this is a place to slow down, explore ideas, and reconnect with your creative rhythm. There are no fixed expectations — you are free to engage at your own pace.

We offer a basecamp, a curated creative mentorship to support each participant’s individual process and help you make the most of your time here.

We offer a peaceful tower studio overlooking the river and garden — a quiet space for both rest and creative work. The apartment includes a cozy loft, fireplace for slow Nordic evenings, and a dedicated studio filled with natural light day and night.

Mural opening in Närpes🦋

Yesterday we celebrated the official opening of our latest community mural together with Närpes Stad and Närpes Högstadium.

Made by the artist .gredmark

This mural was created from the students’ own interpretations of the city’s new strategy words, especially the idea of “Framåt tillsammans”.

Seeing their thoughts and voices become part of the city itself has been incredibly meaningful.

TACK! KIITOS! THANK YOU! - to everyone who painted, shared ideas, showed up, and made this project possible.

🩵

We’re so incredible happy to see how community art is spreading its wings all over Österbotten and bringing more and more people together.

What is community art? 🎨✨

In Swedish, it’s called samhällskonst. In Finnish, yhteisötaide.

Community art is created with people, not just for them.

It brings people together, sparks conversations, and transforms public spaces into places of connection, creativity, and belonging.

When communities become co-creators, art becomes more than something we observe - it becomes something we experience together.

It grows from local stories and shared experiences along the Ostrobothnian coastline, from Kokkola in the north to Kristinestad in the south.

It can look like young people painting murals in their hometowns, or artworks created across generations — reflecting everyday life, shared places, and hopes for the future.

Through collaboration between artists, municipalities, schools, and local citizens, community art creates opportunities for creatives, strengthens cultural accessibility, and builds new connections across the region.

At its heart, community art is about caring for the people, places, and environments around us.

We believe creativity brings people together, makes shared spaces feel more alive, and creates small local changes that ripple far beyond them. 💛

Here are a few glimpses of the community art pieces we’ve co-created over the past year.
