At the Culture Conference on 27 November, from 12:30–16:30 at Deichman Bjørvika, we are proposing a joint effort (a ‘dugnad’) to improve accessibility in the cultural life of Oslo. Oslo Open invites artist Ihra Lill Scharning, artist and musician Christian Blandhoel, and art enthusiast, student, and inclusion activist Nora Sulejmani to speak about how to achieve this.
Welcome to Oslo Open 18 – 19 April 2026! It is with great pleasure that we invite Oslo based artists to open their studios in April. Previous and new participants are welcome. We are accepting candidates until the 15 January, 2026.
Application form and important info concerning the application process can be found here.
Thank you to artists and visitors who participated in Oslo Open 2025, with 450 open studios all over the city.
Please save the date for the next edition: 18–19 April 2026!
Kunst på arbeidsplassen (Kpa – Art in the Workplace) has entered into a three-year collaboration agreement with Oslo Open, under which it will annually acquire works from artists participating in the open studio weekend. The first acquisition has now been confirmed: Sarah Kazmi’s work Mun meetha karien / sweeten one’s mouth will become part of Kpa’s art collection. The work will be adjusted in size in consultation with Kpa and will be exhibited for the first time during Kpa’s 75th anniversary exhibition in autumn 2025.
