About

Björkö Konstnod (BKN) is an artist-run, non-profit organization located in Björkö, Sweden, offering residencies predominantly to visual, performance, and sound-based artists. Founded in 2020, BKN provides a unique environment for artists to focus on their practice in a peaceful rural milieu where the forest meets the sea. The residency includes access to well-equipped studios, workshops, darkrooms, and other facilities. BKN fosters a peer-based environment encouraging collaborative and site-sensitive exploration. Artists are selected through open calls and are expected to participate in maintaining the workspace and engaging with the local community. While BKN offers studio grants, artists cover their living expenses.
