Oslo Open has launched a project to assess the accessibility of artists’ studios in Oslo. Working with Fafo, FFO, UngFunk, BO, and UKS, the project aims to understand current conditions and recommend improvements to make workspaces more accessible for artists and audiences with disabilities.
Oslo Open has hired Jan Sarzuelo Dydland as its new communications advisor. Dydland, who has a solid background as a journalist and communications advisor at NRK, will be responsible for strengthening and developing Oslo Open’s presence on social media.
Sunday 28 April from 12.00–17.00 you can meet six artists who are currently without a studio space. The artists have their temporary work space in the gallery BO, Rådhusgata 19, and outside in the square.
The panel discussion about the studio situation is unfortunately cancelled, but the free pizza lunch is still on!
