HAPPENINGS BY WATER

The fourth edition of The Arts Dot was divided into four distinct sections, all of which were thematically linked to water in different seasons. In 2023, a series of events was organised under the theme “Happenings by Water”. Water plays a central role in Blekinge’s identity, as reflected in its slogan, “Blekinge – wonderful waters”. By using the word “happenings”, a sense of movement was created, and water’s strong association with emotions provided artists with a wide and inspiring range of interpretation opportunities.

Winter and the upcoming Christmas season were celebrated through Stillness. The artists interpreted the calmness of water during the silence of winter and invited everyone to an event titled “Glimpses of Light in the Dark”, which conveyed a sense of peacefulness and the magic that surrounds the Christmas season. The event took place at Johannishus Gods, Ronneby.

GARDEN ART⋅ I LOVE GARDEN MARKET RONNEBY BRUNNSPARK

The event was dedicated to the art of gardening, where water was used as a source to create art that complemented the natural beauty of garden settings. This provided a space for artists to allow their work to interact with the colours of the season and the materials found in autumn nature. The event was held at the Ronneby Brunnspark garden fair.
