The Helsinki-Frankfurt Residency Exchange Program offers residencies for Finnish & Finland-based artists in Frankfurt and for Frankfurt-based artists in Helsinki.
The exchange is co-organised by HIAP and basis e.V. with the support by the City of Frankfurt’s Department for Culture.
The aim of the Helsinki-Frankfurt exchange is to provide participating artists with time, space, and support for their creative work and to foster dialogue, collaboration and networking opportunities. The programme is designed to promote the artistic and cultural interchange between the two cities and is based on the principle of reciprocity.

With over 120 studios at five different locations in Frankfurt and changing exhibitions of contemporary artistic positions, basis e.V. provides a lively and inspiring environment for guest artists.
