The picture lab at Agnes Kulturhus combines art scouting in the Art Gallery with creation in the studio. School classes are divided into two groups that switch activities halfway through. Visits can be booked on Tuesdays from 15 September to 20 October and 13 November to 15 December from 9.30am to 11am.
What happened?
In the Art Gallery, small student groups can look for works based on open assignments, for example something that feels loud or reminds of summer. In the studio, the groups draw pieces of color, shape, material or feeling and create their own work. Before the visit, the teacher must divide the class into groups of approximately three students.
Location
Gävle, Gävleborg
Impact and significance
The arrangement trains observation, conversation, imagination and cooperation without students having to find a predetermined conclusion. The municipality describes the program as experimental, not as a competition in creating fine objects. The page does not report any impact measurement and WUA therefore does not attribute improved school results to the program.
Background
The program is based on the current exhibition, which means that concrete works and commissions may change. The place is the Art Hall and the studio at Agnes Kulturhus. Visits and bus bookings are made via the municipality's e-service; available times and transport conditions need to be checked there.
Latest update
The booking periods are published, but vacancies may run out. Teachers should check grade level, group size, availability and responsibility for student tasks before booking. WUA does not accept school class bookings or student information. This summary is based on the stated public source and describes the state of affairs when the WUA reviewed the material on 17 August 2026. It does not replace the authority, municipality or organizer's own practical information. If dates, times, conditions or execution have changed, the later information on the original page shall be used. Title and text have been editorially reworded to separate verifiable information from the source's own judgments. No data outside the cited material has been used to fill gaps, and the reader should follow the source links for full context. The data has been checked against the page title, date, place, amount and status where such fields exist. WUA has not verified things that the source itself leaves open, for example final costs, number of participants, permission or future results. Such uncertainties are stated in the text and must be followed in later official announcements.
