About Hordaland Art Centre

HORDALAND ART CENTRE based in Bergen, Norway was established 1976 as the first artist run art centre in Norway. Its activities are based around the exhibition programme with equal emphasis on seminars, presentations and dialogue. Since 1985 HORDALAND ART CENTRE has had a residency programme, from 2008 open to international artist, curators, writers and other art professionals.

HORDALAND ART CENTRE also works with public art commissions, a regional and international Outside programme and has since 2007 collaborated with the MA-programme at the Bergen National Academy of the Arts and has an ongoing collaboration with the 5th grade pupils at the neighbouring Nordnes Primary School. There is an open and accessible artist archive in our reception as well as a bookshop-shelf with artist books and publications. We have a weekend-café with newspapers and art magazines.

HORDALAND ART CENTRE is situated in one of the oldest remaining school buildings in Bergen where we focus on local commitment in an international every day.
