Galleri Verftsporten

Galleri Verftsporten was established in 2011 and is a vibrant gallery with regularly changing exhibitions. Here, you will encounter both resident artists and invited exhibitors presenting new works each month. The interaction between them creates a dynamic environment characterized by inspiration, development, and artistic diversity.

The gallery is run as a non-profit initiative, where the artists themselves manage operations alongside their own artistic practice.

Resident artists
The gallery is home to eight permanent artists and craftspeople, many of whom have their daily workspace on site. They represent a range of disciplines, offering a broad and varied selection of art and crafts. Visitors can move from studio to studio, experience creative processes up close, and meet the artists at work.

Veronica Sørem – glass artist
Thorild Marie Instebø – textile artist
Jorunn Knudsen – glass artist
Roar Freslo – glass artist

Visitors are welcome to engage in conversation with the artists – often over a cup of coffee.
