WHAT TO REMEMBER WHEN APPLYING?

Konstrundan aims to strengthen the ability of professional creative practitioners to make a living from their work, which makes quality and continuity key factors in the jury's assessment. Please note that the jury is not familiar with previous applications, so the application form must include all relevant information.

The jury’s assessment criteria are based on the following:

  • submitted application clearly states how you will present your work, including the creative process in the studio for visitors to see
  • visual material
  • curriculum vitae 
  • education, experience and professional activities

A few photography tips:

  • Find a neutral background for your art piece, such as a wall, fabric, or floor. Get creative!
  • Try to use as much natural light as possible, but avoid direct sunlight
  • Use a tripod if possible
  • Make sure the lens is clean!
  • Take several pictures, it can be hard to get the perfect shot right away
  • Edit the pictures you like the most

CLOSING WISHES

"Art is part of the pulse of our society – it moves, challenges, and inspires. At a time when creative professions face new challenges, it is more important than ever to highlight and value the work that artists do. Konstrundan provides opportunities for the public to meet artists in their studios, gain deeper insight into the creative process, and support artists directly. These encounters strengthen both the artistic landscape and the role of art in society," emphasises project leader Frida Gullichsen.
