About
Nordic Artists’ Centre Dale is an Artist-in-Residence centre funded by Norwegian Ministry Of Culture. The A-I-R program encourages international contacts for artists and focuses on visual arts including design, architecture and locally rooted practice. What we offer, besides excellent accommodation and working conditions, is basically time for art production and reflection. Too much time of an artists everyday life is absorbed by administration, transportation, writing applications etc. leaving not much time for the art production itself. We want to be an counterforce to this. In residence, in addition to concentrate about your own work, you are expected to take part in peer presentations and an open studio day. We do not run an exhibition program.
Local Information
NKD is located just north of Sognefjorden, on the westcoast of Norway. The location is in a rather secluded area, on a hilltop next to Dalsfjorden, at the edge of the forest and mountains. Dale is a typically small fjord community with some shops and a few cafes. The nearest town, Førde is one hour away by bus. Bergen, the nearest city is three hours away by bus and boat.
