Application for an exhibition at Møstings

When Møstings reopened in the beginning of 2022, the exhibitions were moved from the ground to the first floor.

Now, the surroundings and the elegant summer residence from the beginning of the 19th century play a central role in relation to both the artistic input and the visitors’ experience. Therefore, it is wished that applicants should incorporate and relate to the special framework. In addition, artists are invited to make proposals for visitor participation activities or for programmes containing arrangements presenting the works as an integral part of the exhibition experience.

The next application deadline for the 2026 exhibition program is 16 January 2025 at 23:59.
