It has been a great pleasure but also an intense and demanding work to work off this year’s summer exhibition – “Summer Exhibition 2016” Creative ideas have flowed, deep artistic meetings which constantly created new tracks, artwork that only “have to” displayed has reported <\/span>his arrival and so on – and yet, things were was made while the road has been gone …<\/span><\/p>\n

It began in October in B\u00e6rum Art Association when we met textile artist Brit H. Fuglevaag on her solo exhibition inspired by the witch burning in Finnmark in the 1600s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stunningly beautiful and colorful tapestries – with so much fervor, woman power and commitment, even in the artist himself – that the whole experience as one big firework of colors and energies!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"2016-06-15-20-49-8188-K5II-1-2\"<\/a>So the choice of main exhibitor easily. <\/span>It had to be this 77 years young and fit Britt Fuglevaag – trendsetter and renewing of weawery art through fifty years, nationally and internationally, with roots from Finnmark. <\/span>And who still looms, traveling exhibits, but who, it turned out, still had yet to set out in Vester\u00e5len, Lofoten and Harstad region.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And thus\u00a0 also the exhibition “agenda” was set:<\/span><\/p>\n

In this summer exhibition, we want particularly to highlight colorful women who through their creativity and creative zest radiate a force that affects and infects. <\/span>Which through their arts and crafts express something “more” – and that makes the room changed, and ourselves feel appreciated and welcome …<\/span><\/p>\n

And what can actually fit better in Nyksund – “city of the sea” – the outer edge of Vester\u00e5len?<\/span><\/p>\n

The place where strong north-Norwegian coastal women for centuries has ensured that life has moved on when natural forces have demolished the houses, and men and sons have been lost at sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

The place that has refused to die several times, and instead allows itself to be transformed again and again by ever more enthusiasts who settle down – and that gets your creativity to flourish, to find new ways …<\/span><\/p>\n

\"2015-07-14-17-17-5504-K5-1-2\"<\/a>So we have put together a lovely “small bouquet” of 12 creative artists and craftsmen – 11 women and one man, many of them living in Nyksund – and where everyone in different ways inspired by light, colors and nature in her creative creation processes <\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
