Saxemara Artist studios
A multidisciplinary artist residency in southern Sweden that offers musicians, artists, writers and other creators a calm place to stay and work, close to forest and the sea.
“Saxemara Artist Studios focuses on sustainable creation, meaning that the balance between the creative practice and rest of life, is more important than the outcome of one’s work. Here, those who wish can take part in shared conversations and meals, as well as training and excursions into the nearby nature.”
Private studios
You live and work in a fully equipped private studio that gives you the space to rest and create without interruption. All three studios are comfortably furnished and has its own character.
Shared spaces
All guests share the main building with a kitchen, dining area, and bathroom with laundry facilities. In the garden there is a covered terrace, a barbecue area and a large lawn for laying out a blanket.
