Sound Art
Welcome to AIRY Sound art at Hola Folkhögskola! Last application day March 20.
Through the years Hola Folkhögskola’s Sound Art Course has established a platform for sound art with a practical focus. The course with its network of guest teachers and course leader, Björn Eriksson, is internationally recognised in the audio arts field. The residency offers a combined sound studio with lab space and workshop as well as active hosting that enables access to the regional art life, artist presentations, performances, installations and interaction with the Sound Art Course.
We welcome applications from emerging and established artists. Only individual artists, no groups.
