About LNM

LNM is an abbreviation of Landsforeningen Norske Malere, which translates in English to The Norwegian Association of Painters.

The organisation was established in 1968 to promote the interests of painters. LNM operates under the umbrella of Norske billedkunstnere (The Association of Norwegian Visual Artists).

Our gallery is centrally located at Rådhusgata 25b, near Oslo City Hall. LNM programs for between seven and nine exhibitions yearly, reflecting the breadth of Norwegian contemporary painting. Programming is done primarily on the basis of an open call which takes places every autumn.

The gallery is supported by Kulturdirektoratet (Arts and Culture Norway).

LNM has currently has over 600 members. Complete list of LNM’s members.

Mediation and LNM Forum

LNM Forum is a series of lectures, artist talks, events and discussions that address different topics relevant to contemporary art and painting in particular. These events are directed at both artists as well as a general audience. LNM Forum sheds light on the material conditions and as well the political issues related to the discipline of painting.

LNM Gallery welcomes schools for a guided visit of our exhibitions. We encourage those with special interests to contact the gallery in advance to arrange a tour tailored to meet your needs.
