Konstnärernas Kollektivverkstad Bohuslän

An artist-run collective workshop in Bohuslän, Sweden, existing to provide professional artists with professionally equipped workshops for various techniques and materials, and also to be a stimulating meeting place. They have workshops for printing, ceramics, textiles, tufting, stone, wood, metal and photography (both digital and analog). The workshops are normally accessible for members only, but through the residency programme an opportunity is given to all professional artists to work there. They welcome professional artists to apply for the AIR and come and work in the workshops. To qualify you must already have sufficiently good knowledge of the subject to be able to work independently. When the artist arrives, they will be introduced to the workshops by the workshop managers. The residency is situated in the countryside with artist-dense area which, together with the local community, creates a valuable meeting place both between artist and between artists and the local community. The social infrastructure is well-functioning which gives the opportunity to enjoy social events as much or as little as you want.
