Konstrundan 2024 has been a year of change and development. With a new organiser in Kulturföreningen Grand and initiatives such as the new format of the Konstrundan magazine, we have taken important steps to renew the event. For the first time, artist residencies participated as separate entities, and we have established valuable contacts with our sister event Oslo Open in Norway, thanks to support from the Swedish Cultural Foundation. With additional support from Suomen Kulttuurirahasto, we have further developed the event, hired a new regional contact in Eastern Finland and have several new recruitments in the pipeline.
We can't wait to see what 2025 brings!
