About
UKS (Unge Kunstneres Samfund / Young Artists’ Society) is an Oslo-based institution for contemporary art and a Norwegian membership organization. Founded by artists for artists in 1921, it has since established itself as one of Norway’s core experimental venues for the arts; convening, exhibiting, and supporting critical voices of contemporary artists, with the objective of having both an artistic and political impact within and beyond its region.
UKS is a non-profit organization with the Ministry of Culture as our principal funder. To download the UKS bylaws (in Norwegian only), click here. To read UKS’ Access Note, click here.
