Visual arts
The Office for Contemporary Art Norway was created to facilitate and promote contemporary visual arts production from Norway, and to strengthen its international visibility and position. One of the key means by which OCA pursues this goal is by offering financial support, through the 02 and 03 International Support Programmes.
OCA also provides International Residencies for Norwegian artists, curators and critics abroad, including residencies at Capacete, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil; International Artist in Residency Programme at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels, Belgium; International Artist and Curatorial Studio Programmes (ISCP) in New York City, USA; International Studio Program Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany; Platform China, Beijing, China, Platform Garanti, Istanbul, Turkey; and Residency Berlin Mitte, Berlin, Germany. The grantees for International Support and Residencies Programmes are accessed by an International Jury appointed by OCA.
