1925-ongoing

HDK-Valand

Through the collaboration with Valand Academy, later HDK-Valand, the master students in fine arts have annually held their degree exhibition at Göteborgs Konsthall. Due to the relocation, the collaboration will take on a different form in 2024.

The collaboration with HDK-Valand dates back to 1925 when the first graduating students from the Valand Academy exhibited at Göteborgs Konsthall. Since then, with some interruptions, the students in fine arts have held their degree exhibitions here. Examples of artists currently active who have been represented in previous degree exhibitions include Lars Lerin, Ernst Billgren, Helene Billgren, Ola Åstrand, Elin Wikström, and Annika Lundgren.

Information about the collaboration in 2025 will be published here.

Speculative Gatherings 2024

In Spring 2024 the MFA Fine Art programme at HDK-Valand presents Speculative Gatherings at Slakthuset in Gothenburg. In the spirit of creative and experimental ambitions, graduating students share a selection of their artistic work at the site that will become the future Göteborgs Konsthall.
