Arts and crafts on Bornholm
Autumn 2017 will now be part of the history of arts and crafts on Bornholm, as the time in which the entire island – as the first island in the world and first region in Europe – was titled World Craft Region by the prestigious World Craft Council (WCC). The title is an international recognition of Bornholm’s unique artisan environment with endless talent, high professionalism, long traditions, high quality and strong interrelation among the skilled craft makers on the island.

In the extensive and ambitious program, Bornholm Craft Weeks shows the diversity and quality of Bornholm’s handicrafts from 6. September to 15. September. For 10 days, you can experience exhibitions, workshops, master classes, theme events, and more – a paradise for art lovers. See the program here.

The project “Maker’s Island Bornholm”, which started in 2019, is a collaboration between craft makers on the island, several museums, art associations, The Regional Municipality of Bornholm, schools and other institutions on Bornholm.
Maker’s Island will help strengthen, develop and further educate the Bornholm craftmanship – and at the same time, the project shows that Bornholm is an attractive island for art students, craft makers, tourists and newcomers to Bornholm. Finally, the popular craftsmanship helps to show that there is an opportunity to reach one’s potential on Bornholm.
The Art Museum of Bornholm strives to present artwork of international calibre – in the permanent collections and frequently changing special exhibitions alike.
Grønbechs Gård shows the latest within arts and crafts and tests the limits of the concept of “art”. Grønbechs Gård presents approx. 20 shows each season.
