Oslo Open has invited Anders Kreuger, director of the kunsthalle Kohta in Helsinki, to take part in its international visitors program on 26-27 April.
Oslo Open is an annual event where artists across Oslo open their studios to the public for a weekend. Each year, Oslo Open also hosts an international visitors program, inviting curators, gallerists, and writers from around the world to discover Oslo’s art scene and meet local artists through a tailor-made schedule of one-on-one studio visits.
The aim of Oslo Open is to foster cross-border collaboration and strengthen the international networks and visibility of participating artists. For artists, Oslo Open includes both social events and professional meetings with national and international curators.
