Arteles

 We arrived today, to this historic log building near Hämeenkyrö, Finland. This is our amazing work studio.  Eleven artists are here in November, in "Enter Text," for poets, writers and text based artists (digital arts, typography, graphic writers).  Each artist has a private room and studio, and there are shared studios. Plus kitchens, baths, a sauna, and a lake view from the windows.

According to Wikipedia, Artel (Russian: арте́ль) is a general term for various cooperative associations that existed in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union between the 1860s through 1950s. The term eventually was phased away with the complete monopolization of economy by the state. Historically, artels were semi-formal associations for craft and artisan enterprises. Often artels worked far from home and lived as a commune.
