AREFS taide ja kulttuuri ry (art and culture association) has been started in autumn 2008 and has been located in Saksalanharju-Kirkonkylä, Haukivuori, it is a non-profit association which has a Board. The association organizes and supports art and culture projects, events and activities whereby for each project an appropriate organizational form is determined.
The audiences AREFS is focused on are local society, artists, education, visitors.

The not for profit association is an important contributor to the cultural development of the rural region of Etelä-Savo. Their initiatives are future oriented culture, art and education programs which activate the spirit of the society. These programs contribute to the self awareness of  the local rural community. 

After the reorganization AREFS will start a new artist-in-residence programs. The association already carried out art education programs in local schools, art events and festivals with the local communities. The association cooperates with Haukivuoren Tapahtumayhdistys ry and different international organizations.

AREFS taide ja kulttuuri ry elävöittää ja aktivoi Haukivuoren ja lähialueen asukkaiden kulttuuriharrastusta.
