Up the hill, behind ancient trees, the old wooden cottages and brick buildings open up – once a place for the sick, today an oasis for life: culture, art, and creation!

During this Epidemifredag, we invite you to an evening filled with art, film, and open studios. You can experience the opening of four new exhibitions, a short film screening, and meet international guest artists. Join strangers for a silent reading session, explore sound installations, or—if you’d like—get a tattoo.
