Oslo Open 2025
The artist profiles from this year will remain public on our website until mid January 2025. All artist profiles from the previous year are deleted once the new profiles are published.
Important information regarding registrations in 2025:
1. New this year! If you participated last year, you can now find information from your previous profile in the registration form. You need to use the same email address as last year. Remember to read through the text carefully, update and add new information before the application deadline.
2. All info must be filled in twice, both in Norwegian and English. (If you dont speak Norwegian, fill in the form with english text in both windows, if not your page will be empty in the Norwegian version).
3. Join forces with your studio mates, this increases the chance to receive many visitors. Also make sure that you all write your address identically. If not you might end up listed in 7 different locations.
4. Membership in an artist union
Oslo Open is for professional artists based in Oslo. It is therefore mandatory to be a member of an artist union/artist organization. If you are an MA student or for other reasons don’t have a union membership, please send us an email after filling in the submission form and explain your situation. Your application will then be assessed by the members of our board.
5. All text and image material needs to be in your profile by January 15, 2025 to make sure that all info is correct when the profiles are published. This is also the time when international curators start looking for artists to visit on our website.
6. Visitor program and guided tours
Remember to tick the boxes in the application form to state whether or not you are interested in meeting with curators or being a part of a guided tour. This is very important! If you don’t fill out the form properly you may miss out on events.
7. Opening hours from noon-5 pm
When signing up for Oslo Open, you are committing to being present at your studio on either Saturday 26th of April or Sunday 27th of April between noon and 5 pm. In 2025 studios on the east side of Akerselva are open on Saturday and the west side on Sunday. We plan our event around this mandatory attendance, so it is important to respect the opening hours.
