The Out of Scandinavia artist-in-residence program at Gustavus Adolphus College is an annual series established to recognize Scandinavian contributions to the general field of the arts. The program is a working collaboration between international studies, the Scandinavian Studies department and the Folke Bernadotte Memorial Library. In addition to the weeklong visit from the artist, the library will also buy their complete works, either in book or film formats.
