Velferden Centre for Contemporary Art is an artist run space located in the 50´s community hall of an old mining town. At Velferden we produce and curate exhibitions, residencies, concerts and arrange dialogues in relation to the local mining history, geology, tourism and contemporary art. The art centre is located in Magma Unesco Global Geopark, and is characterised by moon-like rock formations combined with an industrial landscape resulting from 150 years of mining activity.
