Fotogalleriet Seeking Communications Coordinator

An exciting opportunity to become a part of a dynamic work environment!

Fotogalleriet seeks a dynamic Communications Coordinator to amplify our voice and connect with our community.

About Fotogalleriet

Fotogalleriet was founded in 1977 and is the only Kunsthalle in Norway specialising in art photography and visual culture. The institution collaborates with relevant artists to show new commissions and facilitates meeting points between local and international art networks. Fotogalleriet focuses on increasing access to art for society and emphasises the importance of creating a more inclusive art world. Collaboration with key community organisations contributes to the institution’s interdisciplinarity.

Since its inception, Fotogalleriet’s mandate has been to communicate artistic photography and knowledge about photography and to create interest in photography as a free and personal form of artistic expression. Photography is one of the most widespread artistic media today, influencing people’s lives and their representation. It is an important aesthetic and political tool.

Fotogalleriet recognises how art and society come together through photographic expressions. We advocate for a workplace that reflects society's diversity and welcomes applicants of different ages, disabilities, genders, sexual orientations, religions, ethnicities, and other backgrounds.

Fotogalleriet receives parts of its core operational budget from the Ministry of Culture and Equality, the Norwegian Photographic Fund, and the City of Oslo.
