Haugesund, Norway
Open artist studios in Rogaland county
I had the pleasure of joining the organised bus trip from Sandnes/Stavanger to Haugesund for the day of open galleries and studios during R-open 2011. This trip was a part of the R-open program, offering the possibility for cultural exchange across the fjord, within the county. Even if Haugesund is quite close to Stavanger, it feels far. So this was a great opportunity to get aquainted with the Haugesund art scene. Here are some impressions
