The Arts Dot 2025 was a dynamic art experience run by the art association Konst i Blickpunkt, as part of the T.A.B project’s “Citizen Dialogue for a Creative Karlskrona.” The event took place during the Karlskrona Archipelago Festival. Here’s a look at what happened at our three main venues:

Galleri Chapman: International Art Exhibition

Visitors experienced a stunning international group exhibition featuring artists from Lithuania and Germany. The week kicked off with a vibrant opening reception (Vernissage) and continued for three fantastic days. Address: Drottninggatan 15B, Karlskrona.

Karlskrona Blue Port Studios: Digital Showcases, Art & Talks

This was a central hub for art, technology and dialogue. Visitors explored physical art, met international creatives, and attended inspiring “Creative Talks.” The highlight was the digital showcase “The Arts Dot Illuminated” on the massive 25×6 meter screen, a monumental indoor showcase of digital art from international artists.

Alongside the Grand Screen Exhibition, visitors witnessed the 20-meter-long collaborative artwork, built from 200 individual paintings created by artists from our community. All works were available for sale to benefit local charities.

Various talks covered a wide range of topics, including collaboration on the creation of XR experiences from physical art, the development of augmented reality (AR) installations involving citizens and local communities, the intersection of digital and physical art, immersive virtual reality (VR) drawing, film projects, virtual production techniques, and discussions about XR experiences and innovative business models for innovation hubs.

Beyond the city’s historic core, Karlskrona offers a unique opportunity to explore the stunning Blekinge archipelago. Hop on a boat tour and sail through a myriad of islands with rocky shores, sandy beaches, and dense forests.
