Studio Kolingen is a nonprofit organization and Artist in Residence in Sweden. We welcome artists and culture workers from most disciplines.
Studio Kolingen is located in Riddarhyttan in Västmanland County. Riddarhyttan is an old and former iron ore- and copper- mining area. As part of the area Bergslagen, Riddarhyttan is special known for its richness of minerals. Therefore, also historical important, full of dead, waste land with leftovers from the former industry.
Nowadays this village is more of a memory of its former self, but still very interesting, we think.
