Artists' Open Doors
Langeland is renowned for its many performing artists and the galleries that stay open most of the year. Every year, at easter, the artists on Langeland celebrate the arrival of spring with an event called Open Doors ‘’Åbne Døre’’.
Artists' Open Doors 19 - 20 April 2025
Langeland's professional artists and craftsmen invite you into their studios and workshops. They have been doing this successfully every year since 2002.
A steering committee selects the artists who take part.
Since the 1960s, Langeland has become a magnet for artists because of its active art scene, nature and the light from the sea.
Find inspiration for your trip
The exhibition, in Nowhuset in Tullebølle, is open 13 - 20 April from 10.00-17.00
