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.
In recent years specialist book publishing, public lectures, discussions, and collaborations outside of the institution have become an integral part of our program as well, and we hope to develop more avenues of exploration in response to shifts and new intersections in the field.
Hordaland kunstsenter´s bookshop carries a broad range of magazines and books dealing with contemporary art and culture.
Hordaland kunstsenter is situated in one of the oldest remaining school buildings in Bergen.
Hordaland kunstsenter is part of the association Contemporary Art Centres in Norway.
