Welcome!

Nordisk Kunstnarsenter Dale (NKD) is an Artist-in-Residence centre dedicated to long-term residencies for visual artists, architects, and designers. NKD is located in the village of Dale in Sunnfjord, on the west coast of Norway. We host up to five artists at a time, offering space for focused, independent work and artistic development.

At the same time, NKD is a small, shared community where everyone contributes to creating a supportive and respectful environment for themselves and others. There are no formal requirements regarding the outcome of your residency. However, during your stay, you will be invited to give a presentation of your work and participate in an open day for the public.
