And then the Christmas market was over for this time

During the Christmas market day in Saxnäs on November 22nd, our fantastic artist in residence @karinefraimart invites you to Folkes Ateljé!

The entrance to the studio is at the back of the house, follow the sign / marshals and you will find the right one.

Time: 1-4 pm

Welcome!

Many thanks to MC Coble & Simon Gripenberg for your personal, honest, interesting and generous artist presentations yesterday!

We heard about exclusion, threats of violence, not feeling at home in your body, the path to new life, the power of nature as a way to feel good and see life from a different perspective. We heard about climate change, actively protesting and standing up for your opinion, changing career choices later in life and a little about what it is like to belong to the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland called Finland Swedes.

The day ended with a guided tour of the museum by visiting visitors from Västernorrland!
Also with us on the tour were two students from @academyoffinearts_umea

EMMAS’ art education workshop has become a natural meeting place and complements the residency activities at Ricklundgården incredibly well. EMMAS makes it possible for us to arrange outreach activities and workshops even if all studios are occupied. It is not always desirable for an artist living with us to invite people to their studio while work is in progress, nor is our museum always suitable for various public events. It is nice not to have to choose, we can both have residency accommodation in all studios, guided tours in the museum and activities at EMMAS that require a different accessibility and freedom of choice in how the activities are carried out / implemented or need to be open!

Premiere of “The Little Show with the Big HEART 2.0”, Friday 21 November at 8pm at Marsfjäll Mountain Lodge!

EMMAS Art Education Workshop and the KRAM Inheritance Fund Project invite you to a performance; The Little Show with the Big HEART 2.0! The show offers personal anecdotes, elements of sketches, the joy of dancing and live music. For approx. 2 hours, the audience is treated to a wholehearted commitment and great courage from all who perform as the entire group is amateurs. Our Show wants to touch and spread joy!

So great that so many came to take part in @ivartorneus’ art lecture “The Mountain World in Art” last Saturday at Folkets Hus in Vilhelmina.

We who have listened to him before never get tired. You always learn something new and the content is always filled with surprising new expressions and perspectives.
Thanks Ivar
