- I have lost maybe even half the annual income, says the artist Göran Petersson who has his studio in Sönnerborg, outside Glömminge.
He mainly paints nature motifs in oil and watercolor, and the art night and harvest festival is the most important weekend of the year in terms of sales.
- It is nothing but sad that it is canceled, both for artists and and others, says Göran Petersson.
Öland's harvest festival is estimated to have a turnover of SEK 350 million annually for the Öland business community.
