Handicrafts - Arts and Crafts

In the charming fishing village of Bagenkop, craftsmanship is the common thread linking both the arts and the traditions of fishing.

The 4-kilometre art route takes you out along the coast, past the wild horses, through the rolling hills and back to safe harbour.

Along the route, you’ll find:

+ 8 artists and craftspeople

+ 10 works in public spaces

+ 1 art tower

Works along the route

The artworks on the Bagenkop Art Route have been created by both local and non-local artists. Some of the artworks have been donated to the island as gifts, some have been acquired by Langeland Municipality, whilst others have been created for a specific location on a particular occasion. There is great diversity in style, use of materials and scale. What the works have in common is that they are all situated in public spaces.

Artists in Bagenkop

It’s no coincidence that we call Langeland ‘the Island of Artists’. Since the 1960s, the island has been a gathering place for artists and craftspeople from near and far.
