25 September
Panel talk: CAS w/ Sofie Bakke Ringstad + Hettie Judah
Can you make it without going to art school? Can you get back into the art world after years away?
And what does success actually mean? How to Enter the Art World is a grown-up guide for any artist whose life is complicated, demanding and, well, human. Informed by years spent working with artists and dozens of candid interviews, it is a myth-busting bonanza full of insights, ideas and inspiration. Frank, funny and occasionally forthright, this is your friend on the path (back) into the art world.
Hettie Judah is a writer, and curator of the acclaimed exhibition Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood. The author of numerous books on art, she is well known as a critic, columnist, broadcaster and advocate for artists’ rights.

About OSS
Open Studios Stavanger & Sandnes (OSS) was first held on the weekend of September 30 – October 1, 2023.
The initiative came from artists at Stavanger’s Tou Atelierhus and ELEFANT, and Sandnes’ Stasjon K (now Kunststasjonen).
Each year, professional artists across Stavanger and Sandnes are invited to open their studios to the general public.
During this weekend event, visitors gain a unique glimpse into individual creative processes and a rare opportunity to experience unexhibited artwork.
