If you wish to show your work in one of KHiOs galleries or other areas, here are some guidelines and information that will help you plan your exhibition:
Reservation of Exhibition Spaces
KHiOs visual art departments are prioritized for use of the school galleries. Time slots in the galleries are allotted each semester during tuition scheduling. The departments can inform you on available time slots.
Art and Craft has a student Gallery Group that handles applications from the department’s students. The group assigns exhibition slots in the Seilduken gallery that the department is allotted for the school year. Information regarding this is given to the department’s students each semester.
The Academy of Fine Art is every year allotted a Seilduksgalleri and has also their own two galleries P0 and Skylight. The department can inform you of their own routines for booking of exhibition spaces.
Contact a student advisor at your department if you have questions regarding reservation of rooms or wish to show your work in one of the rooms listed above. You can find a check available areas and periods here.
The outdoor area around KHiO is not part of the school’s lease. If you wish to exhibit or work in the outdoor area, your department must send the school landlord an application on your behalf, covering a detailed description of your intended use of the area. This also includes Asiatisk hage. The application must be sent at least two weeks in advance. Contact your program coordinator for more information regarding the application.
To gain access to the exhibition space you need to be able to document the time and place for your upcoming exhibition. Contact Operations at service@khio.no to ask for access to be programmed on your access card.
While you are working and exhibiting in any area, you are responsible for the security in it. Do not leave doors open to it unattended so as not to let in trespassers, make sure fire safety and escape routes are upheld, and use the area in accordance with the rules and regulations stated in the floor plan, which you can find below.
The current opening hours for KHiO can be found here. The opening hours also apply to all work in the exhibition spaces.
If you wish to use projectors, sound equipment, media players or other equipment for recording or viewing of audio and video, you may lend them from the Equipment Store at the Service Center. E-mail your request to Tom Trøbråten well in advance of your exhibition at tomtrob@khio.no and describe what you want to show, how and from what source, and Tom will help you.

You need to use your own tools and materials for mounting, such as screws, wire, hooks etc. There are ladders available in the Seilduken building as well as next to the Auditorium. Please remember to return the ladders after you are done with them. Ladders locked to the wall are not lent out.
