On the 15th of October, the vibrant and creative atmosphere of Fellesverket in Tromsø, Norway, was once again visited by Peacepainting. In keeping with the tradition of previous Peacepainting workshops held at Fellesverket, we hosted a special event that brought together young minds to express themselves through the transformative power of art.
Fellesverket: A Hub of Diversity and Collaboration
At Fellesverket, the essence of community and collaboration thrives. It is a place where individuals from various backgrounds, ages, and experiences come together, sharing their unique perspectives and talents. This diverse environment makes Fellesverket the perfect setting for our Peacepainting workshops, which are built upon the foundation of inclusivity and dialogue.
The Power of Peacepainting: Art as Communication
The concept behind our Peacepainting workshops is simple yet profound: to create a space where individuals can use art as a means of communication, transcending language barriers and cultural differences.
A Future of Peace Through Art
In collaboration with the Red Cross, we look forward to more Peacepainting workshops at Fellesverket and similar venues, where we can continue to nurture creativity, foster harmony, and celebrate the beautiful diversity of our community. Together, we can create a more peaceful and understanding world, one painting at a time.
Coming to Rødbanken: A Display of Unity and Expression
We are delighted to share that the paintings created during this workshop will soon find their place at Rødbanken in Tromsø, where they will be exhibited for the community to appreciate. These artworks will serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of unity, creativity, and the role of art in bringing people together. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting exhibition.

Inner peace to grow
Finding your safe zone
from external influences is important
to take care of oneself.
Put on your own oxygen mask

The cat
In the dark
In the storm
It tears, bites, wears
Close your eyes
Take a deep breath
Feel the warmth
Feel the light
Look back
Look again
Much can be brought forth
