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 premises at Rådhusgata 17 house a large and modern gallery where we show four to five exhibitions a year. Here we also carry out mediation projects and events with a focus on drawing, both for the public and the professional community. YOUTH IN DRAWING , supported by Sparebankstiftelsen DnB, is the Norwegian Drawing Center's workshop program for children and young people.
Furthermore, Tegnerforbundet publisher of NUMER , Norway's only magazine for drawing, illustration and book art. NUMER is published three times a year. The magazine is free for members of the Norwegian Drawing Center, and others can subscribe to NUMER or buy the magazine in our gallery and at Tekstallmenningen in Bergen. NUMER's digital platform numermagasin.no offers reviews, interviews, artist portraits and the latest news in the drawing field nationally and internationally.
Professional artists with a focus on drawing can organize themselves in Tegnerforbundet by applying for membership . Tegnerforbundet is a member of the Norwegian Association of Visual Artists (NBK) and our board works together with NBK to improve the members' conditions and rights. As of today, Tegnerforbundet approximately 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.
