As an owner of social infrastructure properties, we see a unique opportunity to contribute to society by making art accessible to a wider audience. Our properties serve as spaces where people gather and spend time at various stages of life. We believe in the impact of creating inspiring spaces, regardless of location, that foster resonance, encourage moments of reflection, and invite creative expression.
Community engagement
Polstjärnepriset
Intea Vänerparken has for the past years sponsored Polstjärnepriset, a unique competition of its kind. With the motto ‘more than a competition’, Polstjärnepriset aims to shine a light on young Swedish classical music talent and to be a forum where young musicians can meet like-minded people and put their technical and performance skills to the test.
This year’s winner of Polstjärnepriset is the cellist Clara Yuna Friedensburg. The jury’s citation was: “With an expressive and deeply emotional vulnerability in her playing, Clara’s powerful yet passionate tone and phrasing offer the audience an intense and unforgettable experience.”
Art
Supporting artists and showcasing their work in our properties and offices is rewarding in many ways. It allows us to create inspiring and vibrant environments where art becomes a part of everyday life for both visitors and employees. At the same time, we contribute to promoting artists’ work and offer them a platform to connect with a broader audience.
Architecture
Intea’s architectural portfolio comprises a wide range of new and old, large and smaller properties. It includes culturally significant environments, former military urban spaces, buildings of great historical value, modern functional buildings and unique architecture.
The portfolio is a journey through the history of architectural styles, with building materials including brick, plaster, concrete, glass and wood. The aim is to preserve, maintain, develop, create and expand the architectural portfolio with new iconic and impressive buildings and urban spaces. The former garrison, or ‘Garnison’, area of Linköping and the campus area of Östersund are beautifully designed, with dominant symmetry and a powerful interplay between buildings, parks and courtyards. The Östersund campus is also one of the largest cohesive heritage-grade architectural structures, with listed building status. Halmstad’s university area features a mix of dynamic, heritage and modern architecture. Vänersborg’s recognisable skyline is made up of Vänerparken’s modern, post-modernist and brutalist architecture.
