In the province of Varmland in Sweden a group of about 50 creative people developed a unique artist's colony at the beginning of the 20th century. The oldest participant was born in 1852 and the youngest in 1925. They were primarily painters, craftsmen and musicians, working independently. These inspired people became known as the Rackstad Artist Colony because the principal members lived in and around a community called Rackstad, situated on the south end of Lake Racken, north of the small town of Arvika. The Rackstand Dance is a tribute to the artists and the unique colony that provided Sweden with some of its finest works of art. Complete with photographs of their life, times and of course the magnificant work they created, as well as historical knowledge up until this time has not been assembled before.
