Boden is a vibrant city of culture and entertainment and we are close to experiences and expressions that enrich, touch and develop us as people, as a society. It is much thanks to the passionate volunteers, organizers, cultural workers and entrepreneurs who dare to invest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Boden is growing and we are facing a social and industrial change without its equal. Boden will step 20 years forward in time in just two to three years and it is important to grow quickly, smartly and sustainable. Jobs exist, but to be an attractive place that people want to live in, more is needed. We need to experience, feel, express ourselves, reflect and meet. Here, culture has an important role to play.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Close to culture everywhere <\/h3>\n

The pandemic has hit Sweden’s cultural and entertainment life hard, and of course it has been tough in Boden as well. But here we have thought new, changed and dared to invest in safe experiences. An example is Popupsommar, which gathered a large number of small-scale cultural events under one umbrella and made it possible for performing arts in all sorts of different places during the summers of 2020 and 2021. There was outdoor theater in Gunnarsbyn, dancing at the adventure pool Nordpoolen, live music on a farm in Harads and much, much more. <\/p>\n

Because it is important to be close to cultural experiences everywhere in the municipality, both in the center and in the countryside. This is exactly what the Boden National Theater Association has taken note of. In the project N\u00e4ra Scenkonst during the pandemic, they have arranged more performances than ever before, but on a smaller scale, often in collaboration with local village associations in the countryside. In Sweden’s most association-friendly municipality, close cooperation between various actors such as associations, municipalities and businesses is both incredibly important and life-giving.<\/p>\n

Jazz, hard rock, folk music, pop, rock, songs, classical, rockabilly, punk and much more. Boden has a strong musical tradition and the music is very much alive even today. The aesthetic program at Bj\u00f6rkn\u00e4sgymnasiet is well-reputed and has trained many great musicians in various genres. In Boden there is a long line of bands, music groups and individual musicians whose stage performances are obvious elements at many events. During Kulturnatta, which is usually held in August, many of the local talents can be heard on the stages throughout the city center. Larger national acts are often invited to Boden Alive, as well as to Western Farm’s party nights in the summer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Museums<\/h3>

Havremagasinet L\u00e4nskonsthall Boden is a pride and a reason to visit the town, a fantastic historic building that today is filled with thoughtful contemporary art from local, national and international artists. Here, the visitors’ creative creation also has an obvious place and workshops and activities are arranged several times a week. Caf\u00e9 Pampas on the entrance level is also used for live music, lectures and as an inclusive meeting place.<\/p>

Those interested in art will also find Gallery 14, murals and sculptures in the center. There are also pop-up exhibitions featuring local artists in shop windows, cafes and restaurants.<\/p>

If you have an interest in history, don’t miss the F\u00f6rsvarsmuseum<\/a> and
R\u00f6dbergsfortet<\/a>, which showcases our important military heritage and also has temporary exhibitions and activities for the whole family, such as a popular Lego exhibition that is usually on display during the autumn break.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Cultural development<\/h3>

Boden is developing its cultural life with the goal of ensuring that everyone who lives here can participate, create, experience, and influence local culture. Culture is seen as an important part of a sustainable and growing community, where people feel well, build connections, and express their creativity.<\/p>

The municipality works to strengthen conditions for creators, make culture more visible, and create more open meeting places across the municipality. This includes investing in facilities, public environments, events, and collaborations between associations, businesses, and independent cultural practitioners.<\/p>

Culture is also integrated early in community planning \u2014 in schools, public services, housing areas, and public spaces \u2014 to encourage participation and innovation. The cultural and creative industries play an important role in this, with growing sectors such as film and game development contributing to engagement, jobs, and future opportunities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
