Artist retrEAT
Långrådna is the perfect place if you as an artist look for a place to rest and focus on you work as a creative soul. As a retreat artist you rent your own flat in our house. You can choose “exchange” and help us at the farm or pay a rent. You can also choose to cook on your own or get home cooked food grown in our garden included.
Every summer since 2017 Långrådna Kultur nominate an artist, singer/musician/dancer/visual or performance artist, for an Artist Retreat Scholarship.
We offer accommodation for the artist for 7 days, to use for creativity, work or rest, away from every day life.
Are you an artist or practitioner of culture? Are you seeking peace and quiet time to spend nurturing your creative soul? Then apply for this scholarship!
Application:
Send us your application: explaining what you want to do with your week here. Who you are and what your occupation is. Use your imagination and discuss openly what you need to make the best of your week. Please send samples of your work. You do not have too be established yet!
We attach great importance to your story and your commitment to your application, so take some time to express yourself!
What do you get from this retreat:
We offer one week stay, room and board, amazing food , grown in our garden and home cooked. If you wish you are more then welcome to eat dinner with us. If you have a special diet then you have access to your own kitchen. We think artists sometimes need some time off every day life (no cocking, no cleaning, no washing up, no worries..) to get time to find new creativity or just breathe, rest and get new inspiration for further work.
Accommodation:
You have your own floor in our 19th century house with your own bathroom and kitchen. Around the house is a garden filled with flowers, vegetables and trees. The house is close to the forests and beautiful nature. For more information contact us by email.
Apply before the 30th of April!
We are looking forward to your application!

“Being artist in residence at Långrådna Culture Centre gave me the space and time to explore my writing and creative ideas in a beautiful space surrounded by the Swedish countryside.
Kajsa and Emil are wonderful, welcoming hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Kajsa made incredibly tasty meals all week, leaving me free to focus on my writing and although there was no pressure to share meal times together, they were really great company too.
”
“The ethos of this residency gave me the freedom to explore what I felt I needed to explore in my art practice, without expectation to ‘produce’. I had time and space to read, write, create, and hear my own thoughts (!) without everyday distractions and outside pressures. I had a wonderfully nurturing experience as resident artist at the Långrådna Centre and came away re-energised and inspired.”
