We can hardly contain ourselves now – but we hope we have been able to keep everyone else in suspense… So here it is: The OpenART opening will be held on 18 June at 1:00 pm in the middle of Olaigatan.

I sommar förvandlas Örebro åter till konstens urbana tummelplats. Open Art, Sveriges största biennal för samtidskonst i det offentliga rummet, öppnar för sjätte gången. Det blir ett, av många efterlängtat, publikt möte med konst i citykärnan. Stadsrummet laddas under tre månader med spännande kreativitet, magiska upplevelser och hisnande tankespår.
