Last Sunday we celebrated creativity, hard work, and friendship.
It’s been three years of building a space to amplify independent voices, and Sunday felt like proof of what can happen when people come together with purpose.
Since 2022, more than 500 artists have performed at
@openfolkla .
We’re committed to continuing this work, to expanding, connecting, and giving a platform to artists who have something to say.
Now more than ever, we need to keep building and strengthening the roads that bring us together, roads that lead to empathy.
Music can be an igniter of feelings and truth.
For there to be artists, there must be a room, a room that listens, and people who bring their hearts and truths to the stage.
Thank to all the artists who created an unforgettable memories on stage:
