We welcome you to the third Arts in Action symposium, taking place from 10 to 12 June 2026, featuring three days of exchange within the arts in beautiful Kristiansand.
In an era characterised by instability, rapid change and a pervasive sense of urgency, the role of art and art education is coming into sharper focus. We invite artists, researchers and art educators to participate in the symposium to explore and discuss the vital relevance of art and art education in today’s world.
This symposium seeks to shed light on pressing questions concerning the intersections between art, arts education and society: What kinds of itches and edges are created and evoked in these complex fields? How do persistent and often uncomfortable calls for action or change manifest in artistic and arts educational contexts? And how does society relate to them?
Full programme to follow.
