Tegnerforbundet – The Norwegian Drawing Center is celebrating its 110th anniversary. In the jubilee exhibition Vi tar streken på alvor (Taking the Line Seriously), we present drawings by members that highlight a wide spectrum of expressions, methods, and perspectives. We are proud to showcase our members' work and the great diversity of voices they represent.
A Living Image of What Drawing Is
In the anniversary exhibition, we shine a spotlight on the breadth of contemporary drawing. Tegnerforbundet's members form a distinctive and versatile circle, working with drawing in highly diverse ways. The scope ranges from cartoonists and illustrators to visual artists working conceptually and experimentally.
Continuity and Renewal
With this anniversary exhibition, Tegnerforbundet aims to highlight both continuity and renewal – from established careers to emerging forms of expression. By gathering such a broad range of practices, the exhibition illuminates what the organization has been and what defines it today. The anniversary year 2026 celebrates precisely this diversity and the wide range of subjects that engage our members.
