Happy New Year ! 2026

January 7, 2026/in Blog/by simone

As the year comes to a close, we want to send our warmest Christmas wishes from Norway

Thank you to all the incredible artists who joined us in 2025—your ideas, presence, conversations, and care filled the residency with curiosity, courage, and creativity, and made 2025 an unforgettable year.

You left traces that will stay with us far beyond the season.

To the artists who will visit us in 2026: we can’t wait to welcome you. May you arrive with openness, questions, and time to listen—to the place, to each other, and to your work.

Wishing everyone a peaceful holiday season and a new year full of making, thinking, and shared moments.
