The exhibition Rotad – Edstradska stiftelsen 75 år, at Ravinen's Kulturhus, brings together artists from different generations. Among the participants are several alumni and teachers from Malmö Art Academy, including Matts Leiderstam, Nathalie Djurberg, and Marcus Matt.
Since 1951, the Edstrand Foundation in Malmö has awarded scholarships to significant artists. The scholarship has become one of Sweden's largest, with three artists receiving SEK 500,000, which is both an important encouragement from the foundation and an opportunity for peace of mind and artistic development.
Since Malmö Art Academy was founded in 1995, there has been close collaboration with the foundation. Each year, four graduating students are awarded a scholarship of SEK 125,000 each, and since 2011 we have hosted the scholarship exhibition, which is held annually in the school's galleries.
The anniversary exhibition highlights both the history of the foundation and the continuing importance of long-term relationships between artists, education, and art institutions. The curator of the exhibition is Laura Goldschmidt.
