Welcome to Luleå, a vibrant city located in northern Sweden, just below the Arctic Circle and part of the Arctic Sweden and Sápmi region. In Spring 2025, Region Norrbotten's art developer, in collaboration with KKV Luleå and the art magazine Loosenart, invites photographers (artists and journalists alike) to apply for a **6-week production residency** . 

  
During the residency, the selected photographer will have access to a studio space at KKV Luleå, an artist collective equipped with various machines and workshops. This setup fosters collaboration and networking with regional artists and professionals. Additionally, trips and study visits within the region can be organized based on the artist's preferences and research interests.

  
**As part of the residency, the photographer will also be invited to give a presentation on their artistic work to local audiences.**

  
KKV Luleå is one of Sweden's largest artist collective studios. It is fully equipped with creative labs, including a photographic workshop with studio lighting, a camera with a tripod, various Adobe programs, an A3 photo printer, and photo paper.
