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). It brings together 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.
