OPEN CALL: Membership for the joint workshops
We currently have two available spots in LKV’s shared workshops. Lademoen Kunstverksteder is open to all professional visual artists and arts and crafts artists. In response to requests from several artists, we introduced an annual subscription for LKV’s shared workshops in 2024. This two‑year pilot program gives artists without a studio at LKV the same conditions as those who have one in the building.
Carlos A. Correia & Enrique Roura: «Under the same roof»
BABEL presents «Under the same roof», a duo exhibition by Carlos A. Correia and Enrique Roura.
OPEN CALL: Résidence croisée Clermont-Trondheim 2027
Artistes en résidence (Clermont-Ferrand, France) and Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (Trondheim, Norway) are offering a six-week research residency at Artistes en résidence (A·R) in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
