Tegnerforbundet (TF) - the Norwegian Drawing Center is centrally located in Kvadraturen in Oslo. We work to show the breadth of drawing and to promote the discourse around drawing as an art form. Our vision is to be Norway's foremost communicator and champion of drawing.
Our premises at Rådhusgata 17 house a large and modern gallery where four to five exhibitions are shown a year. We also carry out educational projects and events focusing on drawing for adults and children, professionals and drawing enthusiasts, as well as those who want to become one.
TF is also the publisher of NUMER , Norway's only journal for drawing, illustration and book art. NUMER is published three times a year and sent to subscribers in and outside Norway. The magazine is free for TF members, and interested parties can purchase NUMER in TF's gallery, at Teksallmenningen and in the book salon at Litteraturhuset in Bergen. NUMER's digital platform numermagasin.no offers reviews, interviews, artist portraits and the latest news in the field of drawing nationally and internationally.
Professional practitioners with a focus on drawing can organize themselves in Tegnerforbundet by applying for membership . TF is a member of Norske Billedkunstnere (NBK) and TF's board works together with NBK to improve members' conditions and rights. As of today, TF has approx. 600 members .
Tegnerforbundet is part of the network collaboration Kunst i Kvadraturen (KiK) and is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Equality, the Norwegian Illustration Fund and the City of Oslo.
