I would like to share something with you…

Lately, I have repeatedly heard how much this place means to the experience and the feeling in the context. I agree and I agree so sincerely. What I want to draw attention to now is also how much the individual means to reinforce all that this place stands for.

The museum’s last open day for drop-in visits this summer season was something very special. After a dizzying event for me emotionally, these four people suddenly came into the museum and into the context. Together, the situation and the moment were so strengthened by the fact that we could all share these feelings of solidarity, fighting spirit and empathy that it would seem impossible to return to “normal guide tour”. It did not become normal and completely correct either, but it became so much more because we met on so many different levels that probably would not have happened if we had not been exactly in this place, in this moment with exactly these individuals.

My friends in the picture get to sum up the end of the summer season at Ricklundgården and I am happy to be able to work in a place where art and culture free up space to share opinions, thoughts and feelings about life ♥ ️

That is exactly what makes Ricklundgården unique! Thanks! / Tina

Many thanks @alixstadtbaeumer for your nice and engaging Artist talk last Thursday!

Always just as rewarding and interesting to take part in artists’ work and hear about how it looks / can be depending on conditions, geographical location and work opportunities.

Thanks also to all visitors!
We wish everyone a really nice week!

The heritage fund project KRAM & EMMA’s art education workshop does not only work in Saxnäs!
Every other week our art educator is in Dikanäs at the school with the students there and every other week he is at Fritidsgården in Vilhelmina.

We depend on good cooperation to be able to be in three different locations in our vast municipality.
Distance Saxnäs – Dikanäs, 73 km one way.
Distance Saxnäs – Vilhelmina 90 km one way.

We are extremely happy that it works so well with (all) of our partners and think it is nice and important that all children get to experience, perform, see and hear about art & culture!

The picture shows Kristoffer and several students from the school in Dikanäs who are working on the completion of their film project.

A big THANK YOU @arvsfonden for believing in what we do and making it possible for us to exist in Västerbotten’s interior & mountain world.
