Leveld Kunstnartun is an international artist-in-residence venue that offers free accommodation, studio, and workshop space for up to three months. The artist residency is open year-round, and there are always at least three artists at the site at any given time. Visual artists, writers, musicians, composers, performing artists, architects, and interdisciplinary artists from all over the world can apply for a stay to come and work in a focused environment for a period of time.

Beatrice Guttormsen (b. 1973) has a master's degree in media- and material-based art from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, with a specialization in printmaking. Guttormsen's works have been acquired by the Norwegian Association for Graphic Art, Art in the Workplace, Agder County, Haugaland Museum, and the Oslo municipal art collection.
Guttormsen uses wood carving and drypoint as a way to remember things that have happened, mainly drawing on personal sources like his own writings, diaries, memories, and photographs.

Dissemination
Open studios
At regular intervals, open studios are arranged where the guest artists invite the public 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.
