Art on Langeland
In Denmark you can find a small number of geographical areas which attract artists like a magnet. Langeland is just such a place.
The Artists’ Island
In Denmark you can find a small number of geographical areas which attract artists like a magnet. It might be because if the light. Or because of the nature. Or because they can find colleagues from many different artistic genres living nearby. Langeland is just such a place - and has been since the 1960s, when many artists first started moving out into the countryside to find inspiration from nature and the natural light.
This is why Langeland can offer so many different artistic experiences, in the studios of its artists and craftspeople, in its public spaces where many sculpture have been erected over the years, and in the Art Towers - which can be found from the north of the island to the south, and in TICKON, which has built up a collection of Land Art instillations created by artists from all over the world.
The Art is diverse
Langeland is a hotspot for artists working in all genres of art and crafts.
Langeland Arts and Crafts
Langeland is a mecca for arts and crafts: glass art, ceramics, weaving, paper cutting, jewellery making, gyotaku (fish printing) and much more.
Visual Arts on Langeland
Icons, abstract art, portraits, landscape paintings, paper cut-outs, prints and more – the visual arts take many forms on Langeland.
Photographic art from Langeland
Over the past 10 years, a scene for artistic photography has quietly emerged on Langeland, and the island now has both its own photography gallery and an annual exhibition, where a selection of the island’s photographers showcase their best work.
