INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
OCA is currently accepting applications for the 2013 Second Quarter
Application Review for International Support. Forms are due on
1 May 2013. Applications are accepted from
Norwegian artists, international artists residing in Norway and
non-profit arts organisations. Priority is given to exhibitions
taking place in key international art institutions and project
spaces. Support is also extended to solo exhibitions and group
exhibitions initiated by international curators as well as to
Norwegian art professionals organising exhibitions and projects
abroad. The funding for International Support is provided by the
Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the allocation is decided
upon by an independent jury of Norwegian and international art
professionals designated by OCA.
INTERNATIONAL RESIDENCIES
OCA provides International Residencies for
Norwegian artists, curators and critics in a number of
international venues. The upcoming 1 May 2013
deadline applies to Berlin Mitte, Berlin, Germany and 18th Street
Art Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA. The applications are assessed by
an International Jury appointed by OCA.
Berlin Mitte
OCA offers four two-month residencies for curators, critics and
artists in Berlin from September 2013 until the end of April 2014.
The applicants must be Norwegian citizens, or live and work in
Norway. The residency period will be allocated in discussion with
the selected candidates following the jury's selection. Curators
and critics are especially encouraged to apply, and their
applications will be given priority. Please notice that the
residency is not available for BA or MA students.
18th Street Art Center
In 2013 OCA offers a studio residency for a Norwegian artist at the
International Artists in Residency programme at 18th Street Art

live/work studio within the 18th Street Art Center complex is
provided for a period of 3 months, from 1 October 2013 to 31
December 2013. Only Norwegian citizens are eligible for this
fellowship. Please note that the programme is not open to BA or MA
