With the financial support from the municipality of Bergen we will offer each artist: a studio, accommodation, paid travel expenses (Maximum 5000 NOK) and a daily allowance of 200 NOK/day during the artist’s stay.

The selected group of artists will be invited to stay at the Christinegard mansion (see image) from September 19th to October 19th. Each artist will be provided their own room within the mansion and studios will be within a small commute.

Each collective also has shared kitchen space with various artistic facilities and equipment. The Mansion is a luxury complex 5 minutes to the downtown core. It has a fully equipped large kitchen, fully functional fire place, large shared bathroom, multiple living rooms, a large balcony and 400 meter2 front yard.

During the residency the artist will be expected to give a small talk on his/her work for local artists and curators. We are not presently accepting applications from Norwegian citizens or residents.

Flaggfabrikken – Center of Contemporary Art is a non-profit organization run by artists in Bergen, Norway.

Flaggfabrikken was initiated in 2003 by ten former students from Bergen National Academy of the Arts. An old flag factory which they renovated with the ambition to create individual working spaces and to set up a local base of competence for contemporary art. Since then Flaggfabrikken has housed several Bergen based artists and international guests.
