Fotografihuset AS has become the Fotografihuset Foundation

The joint organization Foto-Norge and the Photographic Foundation Se have long held the ambition to be able to join forces to continue the work with Fotografihuset in the form of an independent foundation. Now the ambition has been realised, and the new foundation’s board, together with daily management and artistic responsibility, is already in full swing with this year’s season at Sukkerbiten and the Pilot Program 2023.

The new foundation behind Fotografihuset will continue the collaboration with HAV Eiendom regarding the use of the land at Sukkerbiten in Oslo in 2023. This year we have also been lucky enough to have Oslo Municipality, the Cultural Council and Fritt Ord as financial supporters, which we are both proud of, and very grateful for. We also continue our collaboration with the other players at Sukkerbiten, Oslo Badstuforening and Raffinade. We also have exciting conversations with other partners and look forward to the continuation!

The program for the Pilot Program 2023 has been launched and the season opened with the Picture of the year Exhibition in collaboration with Pressefotografenes Klubb on Sunday 12th of March. It then rolls on with exciting and significant exhibitions and activities, which we hope will create the chance for some great engagement for lots of people throughout the 2023 season!
