The visual artist’s collective Pride Art has been the queer movement’s art mediator in Norway since 2001 and collaborates with a network of 800 artists across the country. Pride Art is artist-led and creates unique art experiences from a queer perspective where the art challenges prejudices and safeguards traditions. The queer movement’s focus on art as a tool in the LGBTQ struggle for liberation. Throughout the years, Pride Art sets up around 40 exhibitions from Kristiansand in the south of Norway to Tromsø in the north, often in unusual venues such as churches, seniors’ centres, schools and cultural centres.

Gamle Munch is a pilot project for the period 2022 – 2025 that tests new uses of the old Munch Museum on Tøyen in Oslo. The project is a collaboration between the Kulturetaten, Oslobygg and Bydel Gamle Oslo. The house consists of an art hall with three halls, a large and a small stage, an office community and activity room for neighborhood activities. In addition, Gamle Munch houses a café and Oslo municipality’s art collection.
