Malakta is an artist-run centre and is located in an old dairy by the Malax River in the municipality of Malax in western Finland.
As a cultural hub, Malakta plays a very important role of bringing, sharing and making the art practice accessible to the local community. On the same time, Malakta bring into the local art scene, professional artists from around the world with the purpose of experiencing the cultural exchange between Finland and the rest of the world.
As a professional actor the course was extremely important for my own further development in the profession. Malakta as a place is welcoming and extremely well functioning with everything from organising courses relevant to the regional cultural field. Highly recommend courses organised by and at Malakta.
Malakta is a creative oasis, a meeting place, a sanctuary, an artistic centre of creativity. Malakta is a colourful puzzle where all the pieces fit.
Malakta is my second living room where creative ideas are born but also deep discussions about the meaning of life. For me, Malakta is a place for recreation and creativity, a safe place where I can go wherever I am in my creative process, when I have doubts and when I have flow. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The neighbourhood creates peace of mind. Everyone is welcome here, all nationalities, children and animals. Thanks to the great competence and professionalism of the artists at Malakta, I always learn something new.
Just start creating. The work itself will teach and lead your way
