About

The Nordic Artists’ Centre Dale (NKD) is an internationally recognized art residency located in Dale i Sunnfjord, Norway, established in 1998. Supported by the Arts Council Norway, NKD offers opportunities for artists, designers, architects, and curators to develop their practice, engage with the local and international art scene, and collaborate with peers. The center provides residents with a monthly stipend, individual studios, and separate living accommodations, all located on-site.

Time to concentrate on my practice. Fantastic surroundings, nature, house and studio situation. The staff is very helpful. Stipend to cover living costs and travel. I could bring my dog, and my husband stayed there for free for a large part of my residency. It is a bit remote, so if you don't like to be alone, it may be not a place for you. I brought my car, but the residency has a car that the residents can use. There are not so many social happenings (a few meetings). So you have to reach out to the other artists for this.
