Let’s get inspired!

Let’s get inspired is a column dedicated to sharing content made primarily by our members, for your inspiration.

We are glad to present today an artistic podcast from Denmark and the project “The Artist Close By”. In this project a number of regional and international artists were brought together to live and work in a small Danish community creating artistic work inspired by and with people in the villages of Stadil and Vedersø.

This podcast will take you to the windy west coast of Denmark, to hear about the works of the artists which contains AREA members Filipa Francisco, Robbert van der Horst and Morten Mosgaard.
