staying in the art center
The art center started in 2005 with the first guests and the first
artist-in-residence. Artists are invited to stay in the residence program and to take part of the special ambiance in the center. There is no huge organization on distance, but a direct contact between the artists and the
staff of the small organization. It is the individual artist who makes his/her own program and atmosphere.
When possible artists can collaborate, but there is no guarantee that this can be realized, it depends on the number of artists and their interests.
The idea is to
create a place were artists can work on their own artistic work, take part in
the social live of the local community and be a part of the growing, changing
and exploring art center.
As a part of the temporary community in the center every artist is taking part
in the maintenance of the art center. For instance in winter all can help with
the wood storage for the heating system. Working together to prepare exhibitions
and presentations is also a basic part.
Living in this young, small and developing art center gives unique and unexpected experiences to the artist
with an open mind and interested in unpredictable ambiance.
