Taking place each July it is an artist-led initiative which strives to provide a meeting place for artists working in “traditional” visual disciplines (painting, fine print, drawing, sculpture). It brings together up to 12 artists of all nationalities for 10 days to work, exchange dialogue and experiment in a way that is mutually beneficial. LindArt is by now recognized as a unique and highly valued opportunity for emerging artists to examine their practice in critically engaged global contexts.

LindArt provides a highly successful artistic model for creative enquiry which leads artists to create extensions of their existing practice.

The platform of our programme is based upon the motto of “co-operation” with its main idea of gathering the selected artists into tandems (working couples) to work during the residency period on a theme that is defined beforehand by the organizer. This way the artists are invited to move away from their habitual practice in terms of materials and style and to show a genuine willingness to place themselves and their practice into question; truly explore areas of artistic and cultural uncertainty and seek creative solutions through the collaboration and, exchange cultural/artistic dialogue that is the hallmark of the Workshop.

The LindArt Artists’ Colony offers an opportunity of participating in an activity removed geographically and conceptually from usual studio practice; in an environment where experiments can be made and leaps of imagination can occur.
