Opening hours are Wednesday to Friday 1-5 pm, Saturday and Sunday 10-3 am.
The artist is of course welcome to stay open beyond the scheduled hours. But it is expected that the artist will open on the regular opening times. If there are two or more artists, they can share the opening hours.
ALLOCATION OF COSTS
Kunsthal vARTe pays for all operating costs and PR. This will include posters, press releases, social media, newsletters and mail invitations to each exhibition. If the artist wish to arrange an event, a workshop, an artist talk e.a. during their stay, we can also help with the PR for this.
The artist is of course very welcome to spread the message in their own network.
Kunsthal vARTe is a non-profit initiative where the premises is created. The artists contribute to the operating costs in the form of an artwork from the exhibition. The payment artwork will be selected by the art manager with approval from the artist.
The artist pays for shipping and transportation back and forth. They buy snacks and drinks to the opening - and to other potential events during their stay (this may be sponsored). The artist also have to pays for their own meals.
