suomenlinaFrontiers in Retreat is a research residency platform that fosters multidisciplinary dialogue on ecological issues within a new European network involving artist residencies, art and education organisations, artists, experts in various disciplines as well as diverse audiences.

The Frontiers in Retreat artists and partners come together for the first time tomorrow in Gallery Augusta, Suomenlinna.

During the get-together, the partners and artists plan upcoming Frontiers residencies and develop their ideas for other future project activities. Potential local associate partners are also attending.

The Introductory Workshop is not open to the public, but you can read more at frontiersinretreat.org.
