Ricklundgården proudly presents; Ida-Isak & Linnéa.

We are extending the application period for all three studios belonging to Ricklundgården’s residence until Sunday, April 13.
•
We have received a really good number of applications, but it is a bit unfortunate that this round there has been a really high application pressure and a large concentration in the autumn months, so we encourage interested parties to also apply at other times of the year.

It is still possible to apply to Folkes Ateljé October, December 2025 and June and August 2026.
A little scattered opportunities in the Annex and the Writer’s Cottage. Please fill in 3 possible time options in the application form.

If you are applying from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, MARK your application with:
Residence 25/26.

Before you fill out the application form, carefully read our regulations, which can be found on our website under “ART IN RESIDENCE” < APPLICATION. The application must be sent digitally as a PDF BEFORE April 13, 2025 to our email: info.ricklundgarden@gmail.com Responses to all artists will be sent out in the latter part of May. • The final decision will be made in communication with the artist and the organization (well in advance) before the estimated arrival. • New for this year is that it is also possible to apply to our Writer's Cottage during certain months of the year. • A warm welcome with your application!

Together, Ilar and Anna-Karin have had a residency in Folke’s studio during the month of March.
•
Ilar has worked with landscape pictures during her time at Ricklundgården. She has experimented with beeswax as a surface treatment on photographs.
“- I have two different themes in my art, one is more political if I think something is wrong or unfair in society. The other is landscape pictures, which have become almost like meditation.
I have tried to get away from the fact that as a photographer you have to do things a certain way when framing photos. Now I only use wood and beeswax.”
•
Anna-Karin works with a technique where charcoal is always the basis.
“- Based on four directions and ideas, I have tested and explored what I should continue to work with. Sometimes you have to end up in the stage where you stand completely still, in order to then move on.”
•
Ilar is and works as a photographer and artist. Anna-Karin is an artist and works as a nurse.
•
We at Ricklundgården are extremely grateful and happy that Ilar Gunilla and Anna-Karin have chosen to come to us. Their energy and passion for art is contagious. We would like to thank all participants for the very interesting and moving Artist Talk last Thursday!

If you want great working opportunities, space and lots of daylight, take the chance to apply to the Annexet studio now.
Late drop-out makes it possible for you as an artist to live and work for 14 days in Saxnäs with us at Ricklundgården.

Send us an email and tell us a little about yourself and your need to work in our studio.

It’s an incredible time now with cold nights and nice days! info.ricklundgarden@gmail.com
