OPEN CALL: 
Studio for visual artists Rotvoll Kunstnerkollektiv expands their premises July 2024




Do you work with visual art - painting, drawing, sculpture, textile, sound, light, scenography, video, photography, performance or other - and would you like to be part of a larger professional community in Trondheim? We are expanding our premises and are looking for you who needs a workplace for your practice and who wants to contribute in influencing the design of our newest common workshop for visual arts.

Rotvoll Kunstnerkollektiv SA is an interdisciplinary working community for professional artists in Trondheim, with the main emphasis on visual art and music. With its 69 artists, this is Norway's largest working community which is open to applicants from all art forms. Since its inception in 2019, RKK has quickly established itself as a meeting place for the interdisciplinary professional art environment in Trondheim. The premises are rented by AHA Eiendom AS, and the joint workshop is organized as a cooperative with a general manager and board. RKK has its own dissemination programme, with the festival Kunstfest Rotvoll, the exhibition series Rotvoll Kunstscene and the sound art series This Sonic Planet.

With the expansion of premises in 2024, RKK will grow to up to 80-90 artists, within many different disciplines.
