A real cultural servant

It’s always wonderful when those cultural servants, who have been working and struggling in the field for a long time, and with their work has contributed significantly to the artistic scene, are put forward. This happend yesterday when Margareta Orreblad was given the Dynamo Award by the Swedish Arts Grant Committee in the hall of Museum of Fine Arts in Göteborg.

Margareta Orreblad is a real entrepreneur, starting her small gallery Mors Mössa (Mother’s hat) around forty years ago. She is a real champion of visual art, her drive is art that engages, and in the small gallery in central town of Göteborg, any forms can be exhibited. She sets no limits concerning material, technique, angles or expression. The only limit is that an artist can only be shown once. In forty years, it has been a long list of interesting art.

Many artists witness her energy and endurance in visual arts and what role Mors Mössa has played in the artistic career. It’s a small place, just tiny, but yet so influential.
