Åpent atelier hos TrAP under Oslo Open 2026

Oslo Open is an annual art festival where around 450 professional artists open their studios to the public over one weekend. The festival offers a rare opportunity to experience art where it is actually created and to meet the artists behind the work.

We know that many artists, for various reasons, do not have access to their own workspace or do not have a studio in Oslo. For this reason, TrAP wishes to support artists who need a place to work or present their practice during the festival.

In 2026 we are opening our doors and offering space to artists in our premises at Tårnet Kulturarena, Kabelgata 51 at Økern. The space is located on the ninth floor and has elevator access. It is bright, spacious and suitable both as a workspace and as a presentation room throughout the Oslo Open week, 18 and 19 April 2026.
