As many creative and artistic disciplines as possible are represented and the events and exhibitions are multi generational and all inclusive.

It marks the 200th anniversary of The Norwegian Constitution,Ian Ward Garlant was invited by the Kommune to be the Festival Artist for this important occasion. The event and location in Kvinnherad’s industrial centre, Husnes was the ideal stating point for the Love Norway X exhibit.

The large scale sculptural relief 'The Construction Love' and the ‘ Golden Bauta ‘ were centrally placed in the main concert hall for the duration of the festival, providing the perfect backdrop to the activities and a vocal point to embody the spirit of the bicentenary
