Our 2027 Open Call for artists and creatives is open! And it comes at the same time as our brand new website.

Thanks to funding from Nordland County Council (Nordland fylkeskommune), together with our own resources and donations, we are able to offer:

→ Up to 20 fully funded residencies
→ Up to 50 partially funded stays

One or two weeks on Fleinvær, in April, August or October 2027, or January 2028.

We expect around 1,000 applications. They are read by a selection panel of seven to ten people, each with a different background and creative perspective.

We aren't looking for one kind of artist. Each residency brings together a small group from different countries, disciplines and stages of their work. That mix is a large part of what makes the time here what it is. This year we are also making sure writers are among those selected.

If you are selected, it is because the panel saw something in your work and wants you here.

Deadline: midnight on Sunday 11 October, wherever you are in the world.
Apply at thearctichideaway.com (link in bio).

Do you know an artist, writer, musician, designer, architect, filmmaker or researcher who needs time and space to work? Tag them below or send them this post.

P.S. 2026 marks ten years of The Arctic Hideaway. For the first time you can support the place directly on the new site, and gifts of €100 or more come with our 10-year edition mug.

Our island is Bortle 2, though not yet certificated as dark sky park. Nevertheless a brilliant spot for stargazing, and yesterday: the launch of rocket from 👌

This shelf is used multiple times a day, rearranged and changed, photographed and even painted, but it keeps returning to being a shelf.

Simplicity is easy when it is an aesthetic. Harder when it is real.

At The Arctic Hideaway, we talk a lot about simplicity as a kind of luxury. But what we mean is not an empty room carefully styled to look minimal. We mean actually having less.

Fewer ingredients. Fewer objects. Fewer places to put things. No shop to run to when you suddenly decide you need something. No easy way to throw things away when you decide you don’t.

Ten people might share one kitchen. Artists arrive with materials, ideas, habits, preferences. Things accumulate remarkably quickly.

So there is a constant negotiation here between freedom and restraint. We want people to make things. Cook together. Experiment. Spread out. Use the place fully.

But we also ask that the shared spaces eventually return to themselves.

There is something generous in that, too. In resisting the urge to fill every shelf, every wall, every silence. In remembering that the next person needs room for their thoughts as well.

These shelves have been rearranged hundreds of times. They hold our breakfast bowls and herbs and whatever happens to be ripening that week.

Nothing particularly extraordinary.

But perhaps that is the point.

Simplicity, in its finest form, isn’t having everything you want beautifully hidden away.

Sometimes it is simply not having it.

And seeing what happens.

Experimental animators from Czechia, Croatia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia: The Arctic Hideaway in collaboration with Animation Festival Network is organizing a fully funded 3-week art residency at Fleinvaer, Norway, in May 2027!

The residency encourages artists working with experimental animation and new media, including but not limited to interactive experiences, AR, VR, immersive storytelling, and other innovative forms that push the boundaries of the medium. Through shared living, communal meals, conversations, and encounters with local life, artists will exchange ideas and explore how animation can create new relationships between people, technology, and the environment.

The selected artists will receive:
- Accommodation at The Arctic Hideaway for the full duration of the residency
- Food and shared meals provided during the residency
- €400 support towards transportation costs
- A unique opportunity for artistic exchange with international peers and engagement with the Arctic environment

More details & application form are linked in the bio.

Meet Upper Tall.

We call it Upper Tall because it is one of our taller, narrower sleeping cabins. Unlike the Fat cabins, which have a single level and a larger bed, Upper Tall is built vertically.

A ladder leads up to a small sleeping loft with a 120 cm bed tucked beneath the roof. At the foot of the bed is a reading nook, just large enough to sit with a book, watch the weather move across the island, or listen to the tide and wind outside.

On particularly windy days, you can feel the cabin move ever so slightly. Not enough to disturb you. Just enough to remind you that you’re on an island.

Downstairs there is a desk and space to store your things. Guests often pin sketches, notes, photographs, and works in progress to the walls. Small traces of the time they spent here.

Of all our cabins, Upper Tall may have the most devoted following.

We’ve had guests return years later and request it specifically.

Almost like visiting an old friend.

From above, it looks like a small collection of buildings scattered across an island.

Five sleeping cabins.
A tower house for quiet work and reflection.
A kitchen house where meals are prepared and shared.
The studio for movement, making, and gathering.
A bathhouse with a wood-fired sauna at the water’s edge.

There are other structures too. A workshop. An outdoor workspace and cooking area gathered around a small fire pit. A place for carpentry and messier projects. The caretakers’ cabin.

Each serves a purpose.

Together, they form a tiny village dedicated to slowing down, paying attention, and living a little differently for a while.

This is our little slice of paradise. ❤️

A few weeks remain available this summer and autumn for groups interested in exclusive use of the Hideaway.
