A wonderful bunch of people, with a big passion for art, have merged together to create this glocal art trail.

Art from local artists from all over the world collected in the middle of the forest in the South of Sweden.

Enjoy Älmhult’s Art Trail which reflects the unique combination of both international and local atmosphere, enriched by the impact of individuals who live in this unusual environment. Experience the countryside vibe, created by artists and international community, who share love for the accessible design. You ask how is it possible? It’s all glocal!

During the exhibition you will see traditional paintings, ceramics, poetry, design, land art, textile, illustrations and felting art; a wonderful mix of different expressions coming together, only this weekend!

Moreover, there will be a lot of fun activities to engage in, so the only thing you need to do is to let yourself be surprised. To name a few: find the ‘Pink squirrel kids atelier at our locations, do a bike tour with the passionate Scott Ian, wander around in the lovely forest galleries and ceramic ateliers, experience artistic bakery at the pop-up café ko(n)sten (at Muff) , experience the culture centers beautiful garden at Möckelsnäs and harvest festival, listen at the finissage poetry in a house full of stories and let your ears be filled with the notes of the pink squirrel jazz band!
