The first in a series of programs marking the ASF’s centennial, Nordic Models + Common Ground offers a visionary look at contemporary Nordic art and design, examining nascent trends and their impact on the global art and design communities. All of the Nordic countries—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden—are represented.

28 Parliament Street.

Students at the Newark School of Violin Making battle to prevent the scrapping of lodgings/workshops at 28 Parliament Street. The building has been a boiling pot of creative violin making since the seventees. The kitchen table has been tagged with carvings of the dozens of violin makers that have lived and worked there.
