Norbergfestival is a 24-year old festival, held on the abandoned iron mine site of Mimerlaven in Norberg, Sweden. The festival presents contemporary music, performances and interdisciplinary works for three days in July and gathers around a thousand visitors yearly. This year’s iteration is planned for 6–8 July 2023.
Since a few years back, the festival has been expanding the programme of visual art presented at the festival site and around the town of Norberg. This year the festival is announcing an open call for an artist in residence to produce a new work presented at the festival.
Apart from producing a work shown at Norbergfestival 2023, the one-month long residency is an opportunity to do research, location-scouting and networking. Visual artists from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. The work can be presented for example as an exhibition or as a performance.
The chosen resident will be provided with:
- An artist fee of 30,000 SEK, excl. VAT (~2650 EUR).
- Housing during one month (the time span can be divided if needed, in dialogue with the festival staff).
- A budget for production while on site.
- Possibility to work on artwork on site; for example in workshops, studios, etc.
- Help with finding networking opportunities.
