Leveld Kunstnartun builds on Leveld's cultural history. Many artists traveled to this village to find inspiration and work. They lived on the farms and became part of the rural community.

The yard consists of two residential buildings: Lærarbustaden and Astridtugu, the loft of Jens Bjørneboe, an old barn that functions as a writing room/music room, a complete graphic workshop and two large studios/workrooms. The social community of the yard is part of the idea of ​​Leveld Kunstnartun. The same is working across genres and art fields, Kunstnartunet will be a meeting place for interdisciplinary collaboration and new forms of expression.

Today, artists from all over the world come to Leveld to work. Artists also give something back to the village and region through communication in the form of a concert, lecture, poetry reading, open workshop or, for example, a collaboration with the school. The interaction between artists from outside and the local art and cultural life is developmental for both parties, and a goal in itself. The art center arranges a summer exhibition every year, and it is often former guest artists who are responsible for it.
