About

Kvitbrakka Artist in Residence (AiR), located in Berlevåg, Norway, offers a unique opportunity for artists to create site-specific work inspired by the region’s dramatic Arctic landscape and rich fishing heritage. Since 2012, Kvitbrakka has hosted over 50 international artists, writers, and musicians, evolving into a significant cultural center for the Nordic region. The residency program spans four to six weeks, with sessions running from February to May and September to November, and is open to artists from various disciplines, including visual arts, writing, and music. Residents are encouraged to immerse themselves in the community, hosting workshops, exhibitions, and public presentations. The program provides accommodation, studio space, and a travel grant of 7,000 NOK to support the artists’ stay. The small coastal village of Berlevåg, known for its natural beauty and cultural traditions, offers a vibrant community setting, with additional support available from local residents and nearby resources.
