Welcome to the opening of Sparebankstiftelsen DNB Grant Exhibition 2025, Thursday, November 6, from 18:00 at Oslo Kunstforening. The exhibition presents new works by Ellinor Aurora Aasgaard & Zayne Armstrong, PURPOSE CORE, and Rafiki.

New this year is a collaboration with Oslo’s main library, Deichman Bjørvika, which will also present works by the participating artists. This collaboration makes the art projects accessible to an even broader audience, with various activities taking place across both venues.

The annual grant exhibition is considered one of Norway’s most significant art awards and has been organized by Oslo Kunstforening since 2008, with support from Sparebankstiftelsen DNB. So far, 78 artists have participated in the exhibition, and 21 have received the grant. The recipient of this year’s grant – which has been increased to NOK 300,000 – will be announced during the exhibition period.
