Sola i Karlstad

Eva Lisa Holtz worked at the Inn in Karl­stad as an inn­kee­per. Eva Lisa was a beau­ti­ful and hap­py girl whom the inn guests liked very much. Thanks to her sun­ny and radi­ant mood, she ear­ned the nick­na­me Sola. She was also an enter­pri­sing and eco­no­mi­cal woman, who even­tu­al­ly bought and ran her own inn. The sta­tue “Sola i Kalls­ta” was made by Her­man Rei­jers and came into pla­ce in 1985. It has become an impor­tant sym­bol and a pub­lic face for Karlstad.

Konst i Karlstad (KIKA)

Gal­le­ri Konst in Karl­stad is run on a non-pro­fit basis by an asso­ci­a­tion that orga­ni­zes exhi­bi­tions with local, natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal artists. The asso­ci­a­tion’s ambi­tion is to show con­tem­po­ra­ry art of high artistic qua­li­ty, with gre­at vari­e­ty in both form and con­tent by pre­fe­rably pro­fes­sio­nal artists. The gal­le­ry’s goal is also to main­tain an even gen­der dis­tri­bu­tion between exhi­bi­ting artists. A wor­king group in the asso­ci­a­tion final­ly deci­des which exhi­bi­tions are arrang­ed. Eve­ry year in Decem­ber, an art lot­te­ry is orga­ni­zed for the asso­ci­a­tion’s members.

Konsthantverkarna Karlstad

The Konst­hant­ver­kar­na coo­pe­ra­ti­ve was foun­ded in 1987 and we have been in our fan­tastic pre­mi­ses at Söd­ra Kyr­ko­ga­tan 6 sin­ce the spring of 1988. Not­hing in the sto­re is the same! Our cre­a­tions have tra­ces of the work of the hand and that is what gives life, soul and per­so­na­li­ty to each indi­vi­du­al object. We work with natu­ral mate­ri­als and recycling. Eve­ryt­hing is Swe­dish-made and comes to the sto­re wit­hout inter­me­di­a­ri­es and long trans­ports. In our gal­le­ry, 10 exhi­bi­tions are pre­sen­ted annu­al­ly by mem­bers and visi­ting arti­sans. As a custo­mer, you can feel con­fi­dent in buy­ing a qua­li­ty pro­duct whe­re our pro­fes­sio­nal know­led­ge gua­ran­te­es you crafts­mans­hip at its very best!
