About this venue

Holmgård kunst- og kulturhjem occupies a former country store on Vestre Solørveg at Kirkenær, the administrative centre of Grue in Solør. The composer, conductor and organist who bought the property in the summer of 2016 set out to bring the old shop back to life through art and cultural events, and it has run that way since. Concerts and cultural productions are staged there through the year, including the venue's own Holmgårdfestivalen, and the house publishes a season programme under the Kulturbutikken name. Holmgård Konsert- og Kulturproduksjon is the entity that arranges them.
