Barbara Nicholls has been awarded a residency at the Nordic Watercolour Museum / Nordiska Akvarellmuseet in Skärhamn, Sweden.
The Nordic Watercolour Museum has since its inauguration in 2000 explored watercolour painting, contemporary and historically. This is done through exhibitions, research, art education and by promoting the contemporary Nordic art scene. What began as a desire to highlight an artistic medium, has grown into a larger context, which is reflected both locally and internationally.
One of the main goals of The Nordic Watercolour Museum is to promote artistic development to make the museum a space for thoughts and processes. One way of doing this, is by offering artists accommodation in the guest studios next to the museum. The museum wants to contribute to artistic networks, peace of mind, inspiration – for the creation of art. The museum is curious about the meetings and processes that can occur between the artist, the place, the visitors and the exhibitions.
We hope this time will be creatively fulfilling and inspiring, congratulations Barbara!
