The upper floor of the building is a hostel and a residency. The residency has close collaboration with the local cultural scene.
The residency is open for any kind of artists, musicians, writers, sculptors, actors, directors. The priority is given to those artists who focus on questions of ecology and sustainability (included ecology of culture) in relation to the Arctic and the Russian North. It is also essential that the artists can present their work to the local audience. Arctic Art Institute collaborates with most of the cultural institutions in town and also works with projects in public space.
