Opening of the season KHMessen Art Park with new artwork

by the artist Arne Ingvaldsen

Saturday 27 April at 15.00
there will be a season opening with a new work of art in Messen Kunstpark in Ålvik.

The artist Arne Ingvaldsen, from Bergen, has worked in Kunstnarhuset Messen in April and has
created the new artwork in the Art Park.
Mayor Torgeir Næss will be responsible for the official opening.
In addition, the artist himself will tell about his work.

After the opening in the Kunstparken, we would like to invite the public into the Kunstnarhuset Messen.
Arne Ingvaldsen will show a digital presentation of previous sculpture projects and art works he has made.

The other guest artists will also keep the doors of their studios open.
Here you can freely pop in and see what’s going on
and what they are working on.
Coffee and tea are also served in the lounge.

We at KHMessen feel so grateful and privileged that we can select and invite such fantastic artists for a residency at the Hardangerfjord.

This was once again so visible and tangible when seeing and experiencing the work of these strong artists and wonderful women. Thank you for showing your works and processes and for being here.

Sad to have to say goodbye again:
