Hordaland Art Centre

Hordaland kunstsenter was established in 1976 as the first artist-run art centre in Norway. The core of our activities is our exhibition program, in which commissioning new projects from international artists plays an important role. Since 1987 Hordaland kunstsenter has hosted a residency program, which was initially open to Nordic region artists, but is now open to candidates of any nationality. Our aim is to increase the visibility of contemporary art in and from Norway, and to create opportunities for exchange between arts professionals in different geographic and political contexts. Hordaland kunstsenter´s bookshop carries a broad range of magazines and books dealing with contemporary art and culture. Welcome!
