Wallenstam to offer artist scholarship

Wallenstam to offer artist scholarship Wallenstam supports the Grez-sur-Loing Foundation with the Carl Larsson studio at the Swedish artist centre Hotel Chevillon in France. The scholarship given by Wallenstam enables three artists in Gothenburg to spend 2 months each at the studio during the autumn to work with their art. The application for the scholarship will be published in the daily press in February and the jury consists of Hans Wallenstam, Managing Director, Björn Fredlund (The Göteborg Museum of Art), Margita Björklund (city councillor) and Jan Landmark (Grez-sur-Loing Foundation). Hans Wallenstam, Managing Director, comments: "For us, it is both important and satisfying to be able to offer this scholarship. We have been supporting various cultural activities for some time now and this means that we can indirectly contribute to the development of art, which is something that we feel strongly about."
