About B-open

B-open is an organisation which initiates and coordinates the bi-annual event of open artist studios in Bergen and Hordaland, and annually organises a seminar, thus creating a forum for a diverse discussion on contemporary art. B-open organises monthly Study Circles in collaboration with artists in Bergen.

B-open wants to take part in the debate and reflection surrounding the artist as contributor to society at large, and aim to organise challenging, interesting and memorable events for both art professionals and the general public.


B-open was initiated and is run jointly by the two artist unions Bildende Kunstneres Forening Hordaland (BKFH) and Norske Kunsthåndverkere Vest-Norge (NKVN), in collaboration with Hordaland Art Centre (HKS).
