As project result, new art-residency premises were created in Republic of Karelia - in Petrozavodsk (Lenin sq., 2a), Sortavala (Karelskaya st., 22) and Kostomuksha (territory of the State Nature Reserve “Kostomukshsky”). The renovation of premises was carried out on the basis of the developed design projects. Equipment and furniture are purchased and installed. The Karelian art residency network Coordinative council was established. The Council`s work will continue its work in post project period. New cross-sectoral initiatives were created and accessibility of the services was increased. The experience of holding open call for residents from over the world was successfully tested. The creative projects of visiting artist and their work were presented to local communities and artists. The local residents were involved to contemporary culture processes participating in artist-talks, workshops, performances. Four art-tours have been developed, offering to combine in one trip visiting both Finnish Karelia and Russian Karelia and options for tourists to create their own creative projects with professional art curator. These routes were successfully presented to European travel companies at the international tourist exhibition "Matka" in January 2020 in Helsinki, and also received expert evaluation from European tour operators working in the German-speaking tourist market. New tourist products were included in tourist packages of 2 tour operators in Finland and in Russian.
