What EMMAS really is?

11 May, 2022

Vi på EMMAS

Maybe you have wondered what EMMAS really is? For whom is this for? How will it work? And can you, as a general curiosity, just look in and visit?

EMMAS is the name of our art education workshop. EMMAS is also the name of our premises which is in Saxnäs, below the school and opposite the store.

EMMAS offers all primary school children in the ENTIRE VILHELMINA MUNICIPALITY a professional art pedagogical approach, ie. Art + pedagogy in harmony with other activities in the schools.

During our opening hours, anyone is welcome to visit. If our art teacher is not busy with school classes, she will be happy to show and help you who are curious to maybe try printing techniques or something else.

During the day and other times when we work, everyone is welcome to look in and no one is happier than us for spontaneous visits! There will be simpler “try-things”, some art books and other relevant reading here as well as information about what is happening in the world of art and creativity around Västerbotten.

EMMAS is simply a place for everyone who wants a little bit of art and creativity in their life!

At the time of writing, we are in the process of completing the final interior finish and we plan to inaugurate EMMAS in early June.

See you! ❤️🧡💛💚💙

Art in Halland residence grantee Tove Möller

Art in Halland residence grantee Tove Möller

In March 2023, Art in Halland invited visual artists with connections to Halland to apply for a residency grant to Ricklundgården in Saxnäs, (September 15-28). Based on the applications received, the jury has decided that the scholarship will be awarded to Tove Möller.

Tove Möller (b. 1986) grew up in Laholm and today lives and works in Stockholm. Tove is educated at Gerlesborgsskolan in Stockholm and Kungl. Stockholm Academy of Arts.

At the same time that Tove Möller goes to Ricklundgården in Saxnäs, the artist Helena Wikström, based in Västerbotten, comes to Halland with Halmstad as her base. Host for the stay is Halland’s Art Museum and Art in Halland.

In parallel, an educational project is also underway between school classes in Halmstad, Laholm and Saxnäs.

You can read more information about this residency scholarship and our art education project here on our website shortly.

Play in a band

Play in a band

Are you retired or have time to spare? Do you feel like trying to play or sing in a band but perhaps haven’t learned to play an instrument? Or maybe you once played but forgot most of it. In that case, there is now the chance to come to EMMAS without any prior knowledge and together with me Kristoffer, who is a trained music teacher, try playing together, completely unconditional. Have fun together!

The instruments available are drums, guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, piano, keyboard, ukulele and microphones for vocals. (If you own another instrument, you can of course bring it with you)).

The time is Thursdays at 10.30-11.30 after coffee.

There are a limited number of places and instruments, so register your interest before 11/9 with your name and instrument preference to: emmaskristoffer@gmail.com

Write “Band testing” in the subject column!

Welcome!

Okay dear friends, you know…Rome was not built in a day

Okay dear friends, you know…Rome was not built in a day

On our meadow slope, it wasn’t beautiful either when we stopped mowing it with lawnmowers the first (or second) summer. Nah. It wasn’t pretty. Initially. But! Now, now!! Now it is as beautiful as a beaten flower meadow can be! First it gave us a lot of joy there in June; bubbling life and buzzing and humming. With the help of the Nature Conservation Association, we learned about new species and we learned how the raccoon’s good nature is recovering. Then it was beautiful with daisies and flowers throughout July, so beautiful.

Now the grass is cut in the old-fashioned way with a scythe and hemmed according to all the rules of the art.

We will continue with this method and we are SO proud that we decided (despite two summers of less than perfect slope) to return to the only right thing in this otherwise culturally historic environment.

Thank you Nils for wanting to work with us and help us help nature on the trot! For us, it’s no secret that you’re a rock, but for those who read this and don’t know or know you, it doesn’t hurt to mention!

Hej! Vad vill du göra?
