The tenth edition of the World Art Nouveau Day will be dedicated to typography.
Art Nouveau is expressed in many ways, one of which is the use of this style in typography. Letters and numbers become real works of art. Whether in prints, books or on buildings, typography can be found in all cities influenced by Art Nouveau.
With the 2022 edition of World Art Nouveau Day, the Network wants to pay tribute to typography and the impact it had on art and life in the early 20th century.

| Lecture at the Jugendstilsenteret 13.00 | Sophie Berenika Broch (born 1990, Oslo) is a Norwegian ceramist based in Tromsø. She received her art education from various institutions, mainly the Academy of Arts in Oslo (2015-2018). With a penchant for Art Nouveau and a desire to learn about tile production, she stayed at Golem Baukeramik in Germany last summer. There she immersed herself in tile production in general and in Art Nouveau tiles in particular. In the lecture she will recount her stay and describe step by step how she reproduced her favourite tile from the Art Nouveau era; Chrysanthemum. |
| Alex Hansen Art Nouveau: colours, form, fascination: the confessions of a collector 14.00 | Alex Hansen is a professor of theoretical physics at NTNU Trondheim. He is also a passionate collector of Art Nouveau objects and has built up an impressive collection over the years.

| Morten Spjøtvold French Delights: Art Nouveau in the Museums of the Norwegian Art Industry 15.00 | Did you know that Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim have important collections of French art nouveau? In the years around 1900, the three Norwegian art industry museums actively collected glass, furniture and modern ceramics from France.

The lecture provides an overview of the objects collected by the three museums, as well as the importance of French handicrafts for the Norwegian public. |

On World Art Nouveau Day, the CIVA and the Horta Museum are opening their doors to you. The Horta Museum offers families the opportunity to discover Victor Horta’s house through a short, playful tour that highlights the architect’s varied typographic research. You will discover the many previously unpublished monogram projects, an incredible clock, and, if you are very attentive, the signature of the Master of Art Nouveau, hidden in the ironwork of the main staircase!
After being inspired at the Horta Museum, your eyes filled with curves from A to Z, join the CIVA for an intergenerational workshop on engraving and typography. Impress yourself with stamps, and Art Nouveau lettering… Have you ever uttered fancy words like “neoprene” or “loporello”?
This will be the opportunity to discover them thanks to a colourful print, together let’s develop our creativity without any technical prerequisites!
