The aim of the project was to participate locals and make public artworks, emphasizing the villages trough environment-based art workshops. The research focuses on searching dimensions of place and how locals identify themselves in the place. The aim of the research was to find principles of culturally and environmentally sustainable public art, conducted in multi-ethnic North-Lapland. The workshops were researched following art-based action research strategy and focusing on action and process. The results of the study present options towards sustainable public art practices. The process suggested nature is the unifying element in the multi-ethnic Enontekiö.
