*Please note, that the number of given artist grants is limited. However, in case of not being chosen for the grant, you are still most welcome to join Meeting Point Finland 2019 and the festival at your own expense. In this case,
we recommend the Festival Deluxe Package, which enables you for the total cost of 480 € to enjoy the same all-inclusive benefits as the grant artists receive during the festival week, including free lunches and coffee/tea refreshments. The only exception is travels and accommodation expenses, which this festival package does not cover.
