Dissemination
Open studios
All guest artists who are granted residency commit to presenting their work through open studios. The public is invited into the studios to meet the artists and see what they are working on.
Summer exhibition
Every year a curated art exhibition is arranged in Løa. Often it is former guest artists who are given this assignment. The exhibition is open every day, 24 hours a day from mid-May to early October and is free. There are about 2000 visitors to the exhibition every summer.
Nesch and the kids
We have a collaboration with the schools in Ål . This is a program where students have theoretical and practical instruction in art at the schools. The students come to the art studio with print-ready plates that they have prepared based on inspiration from Rolf Nesch. And in the graphic workshop they get help from a graphic artist to create their own print.
