In 2020
Kunstgrillen ensemble started as an initiative during the pandemic. Newly established artists in Stavanger came together with a wish to collaborate, create and perform. Tired of livestreaming, we wanted to create live artistic experiences and experimental encounters with audiences in a covid-safe manner. 
With support from Stavanger Kommune, the ensemble created pop-up performances and offered home-delivery of performances for locals and institutions in Stavanger.
