Konstfrämjandet Norrbotten
Residency programme.
The residency programme at Konstfrämjandet Norrbotten is connected to the on site exhibitions produced by the organisation and is currently by invitation only.
With collaborations as a point of departure, Konstfrämjandet Norrbotten wants to promote both big and small cultural agents, organisations and initiatives who are already active in the area and highlight on the diverse artistic and cultural landscape present in Norrbotten. The organisation wants to show how various actors in the area complement one another in creating value for each other and for the area itself, not least in communities traditionally considered peripheral, where geographical distances are vast and population numbers are humble.
Konstfrämjandet Norrbotten produces the Luleå Biennial as well as various independent art projects in Norrbotten.
Location.
Konstfrämjandet Norrbotten is based in Kiruna however the organisation is active all throughout the region of Norrbotten. Depending on the form and scope of each individual project and the nature of its collaborators the residency can take place in one or several locations in the area.

This apartment is available for use by agreement.
