Greetings from, and best wishes to, Katarina Hamberg who now lives and works in the Annex!

It’s a beautiful time now and it’s reflected in her watercolors.

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!

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.
