Katarina del Rosario
Philippines
Kat is an interdisciplinary artist working across writing, sequential art, and painting. Drawing from folklore, memory, and migration, her work explores isolation, emotional and cultural landscapes, and the blurred boundaries between reality and myth. At the core of her practice is storytelling, moving between fiction and nonfiction, digital and traditional media, and integrating text and image as each story demands.
She holds a master’s degree in creative writing from the University of the Philippines Diliman. Her writing has been published in the Philippines and the United States, and her paintings have been exhibited in Houston, Texas. She is currently developing a graphic novel alongside a body of paintings and short stories during her residency at Leveld.

Jeanne Artemis
Germany
Jeanne stands out as a rare, multifaceted artist whose work bridges an extraordinary range of musical and creative disciplines. As Catenation, Jeanne is an accomplished live performer using hardware synthesizers to create physical, immersive sound experiences. Her performances reflect a mastery of real-time interaction with machines, blending industrial, techno, and experimental sound worlds — sometimes also nostalgic ones — with a visceral energy. Alongside her presence in electronic music, Jeanne has built a strong voice in modern art music.
With a deep foundation in contemporary classical composition, her works are performed internationally and celebrated for their structural sophistication, emotional intensity, and finely tuned sensitivity to dissonance and microtonality. She explores complex forms and forges sonic spaces that connect with profound human experiences. Jeanne’s artistic scope also encompasses extreme metal. She has received scholarships from the Goethe Institute, the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe, Musikfonds e.V., Neustart Kultur and Deutscher Musikrat among others.

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.
