Yes, we welcome private stays at the Hansaram Artist Residency and Gallery building. You can book your stay through our online application form.

When we organise ceramic retreats in Posio, participants stay at our partner hotel and studio in Posio.

Hansaram’s residency building accommodates only our private stay and artist residency program visitors.

During our Posio retreats however, partcipants have the opportunity to visit and ‘hang out’ at the residency building.

Hansaram at the moment doesn’t provide direct grants to artists. We help out with artist/personal grant applications with necessary documentation when required.

Yes, and no.

During the darker season, October to March, chances are higher to see the Northern Lights but it all depends on the cloud coverage and what the sun is up to that particular evening. When the conditions are right, you might see Aurora Borealis but you have to stay up late though.

As we run a small operation around the artist residency programs, retreats and private stays, our pricing depends on the number of participants/guests, which time of the year it is and for how long the program lasts. You can always find out the final price by asking us, and filling out the online form.

The Hansaram Gallery in Posio is open during select hours. If you would like to visit the gallery, please inform us a few days beforehand to welcome you.

Admission fee: 8 euros/person.
