May - September
Take the chance for an experience where art, science, history and the sea meet in a place at the edge of the sea. We are proud that this year the island will be framed by our Art & Science of Water photography exhibition and the Muses of Avatar artworks.
The photos are from international photographers Christy Lee Rogers, Lara Zankoul and Ulrika and Lukasz Larsson Warzecha, all of whom have water at the heart of their work.
As part of Tjörn Island of Art, we have curated the exhibitions Guardian of Water 2023 and Art & Science of Water 2024 together with the photo gallery UpOnWalls.
You can experience the art exhibition as part of a conference, hotel stay or day trip this summer.
We will be showing new works from Christy, an international photographer that we already have in our collection. She passionately uses water as a central part of her works. On behalf of James Cameron and Disney, she has photographed the artworks Muses of Avatar, which will also be shown on the island.
One of the Middle East's leading fashion photographers, also works as an art photographer. Lara takes photos in an aquarium where water is used to depict characters' characteristics, creating dreamlike results.
A creative duo contributing to scientific angles on our oceans, working closely with the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. The photo series Stories Trapped In Ice contains samples of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica and contributes to understanding the Earth's climate change over time.

The Muses of Avatar, commissioned by James Cameron and Disney, photographed by Christy Lee Rogers and starring Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Kate Winslet, is displayed at Pater Noster this summer. The exhibition opens on World Oceans Day to raise money for The Nature Conservancy.
In celebration of 'Avatar: The Way of Water', Disney and Avatar launched the global campaign 'Keep Our Oceans Amazing' to raise awareness of ocean challenges. The campaign supports The Nature Conservancy and their work to protect 10 marine animals and their habitats. The art sale is one of many ways for fans to help TNC reach its goals, as 100% of the net proceeds of art sales go to TNC and their work to protect our oceans. Read more here.
Muses of Avatar is available for sale in 4 limited editions of museum quality photographs signed by Rogers, as well as a series of high quality prints, signed and unsigned. They are available for purchase through Fraser Scott at A Gallery Artists Ltd. via Rogers' website.
The works are displayed along the quay where the boats arrive at Pater Noster, printed in recycled material and displayed from June 8 - September 1, 2024.
