Since 1976, the Spring Exhibition has been an important yearly event for Norwegian photographic art. During 46 years, and through almost an equal number of editions, this long-standing tradition of cyclical exhibitions has driven forward photography’s position within the Norwegian art field. Every edition continues to be a unique gathering for the photographic community. 

Through the Spring Exhibition, you can witness what current tendencies occupy contemporary artists and the distinctive methodologies and techniques they use to work with the photographic medium. In such a way, the exhibition is a fissure and the most direct expression of our time.

The Spring Exhibition is an annual event by artists for artists. Decided by resolution at the general committee of FFF in 1976, the Spring Exhibition was established, as an answer to the Autumn Exhibition, to ensure the position of photographic art within the Norwegian contemporary art field. The exhibition is based on open submission and a thorough peer-to-peer juration.
