Björkö Konstnod

BKN is embedded in a rural costal area during the winter months this means no light pollution and almost a silent zone. 300 people live through out Björkö. In the extended month of July (midsummer to mid August it's about 5000). We are renting our premises, two former school buildings from Norrtälje municipality. The artist run not for profit has annual support from Region Stockholm. In special projects we have had other partners or grant providers such as: Nordic Analogue Network, SWAN - Emergency, IASPIS, Swedish Arts Council and Municipality of Norrtälje. Our aim is to be a site for artists to explore and experiment and continue to expand up on the practice by interacting with other artists and the local context.

You reach BKN by public transportation (buss) from Stockholm via Norrtälje. The two former schoolbuildings are right at the bus stop so its really easy. Be vigilent there are many Björkö (Birch Island) in Sweden we are the one in the municipallity of Norrtälje. The space is endorsed by the locals and run by the non profit organization Björkö Konstnod. BKN is in two buildings and total area of 590 sqm.
