Discover contemporary art in Sandefjord
Sandefjord Kunstforening introduces visitors to work by established and emerging artists through a varied programme of exhibitions. Depending on what is on display, you may discover paintings, sculptural installations and other forms of contemporary visual art. The exhibitions invite visitors to explore different materials, artistic ideas and perspectives. Take your time looking at the works and discovering the stories and questions behind them.

Changing exhibitions throughout the year
Sandefjord Kunstforening normally presents around eight to ten exhibitions each year, ranging from solo exhibitions to group shows and larger curated projects. The association is particularly committed to presenting and promoting professional contemporary art. Its initiatives include the Sandefjord Kunstforening Art Prize, which highlights contemporary artistic practice. The programme changes throughout the year, so each visit can offer something new. Check the official Sandefjord Kunstforening website for current exhibitions, featured artists and dates.

Art activities and opportunities to learn
In addition to exhibitions, Sandefjord Kunstforening organises talks, art excursions and creative workshops for children, young people and adults. These activities offer opportunities to engage more closely with contemporary art, explore artistic ideas and take part in the local arts community. Events and workshops are scheduled separately, so check the current programme if you would like to take part.

Combine your gallery visit with Badeparken
The gallery opens directly towards Badeparken, a green park between central Sandefjord and the waterfront. Here you can continue exploring art outdoors, including the Poseidon sculpture group, or simply enjoy a walk among the trees and gardens. For more visual art, visit Galleri ER in Kongensgate or Galleri Brown near Kurbadet. You can also discover public artworks around town through Sculptures in Sandefjord.
