The North Norwegian Festival of Culture has a 52 year long history as an area for north Norwegian art and culture in a broad spectrum of expressions and genres. At the same time, The North Norwegian Festival of Culture has brought the world to the north through bold booking of world art and quality music from all continents. However, from 2015, The North Norwegian Festival of Culture wants to take significant development steps toward a new future and a new reality in the north. Dramatic art and music of all genres will be presented in the coming years, and the festival shall facilitate for transboundary productions. This provides a festival with large variations from year-to-year both in scope and which venues are utilised. The North Norwegian Festival of Culture believes art from the north and from the artistic areas is a worthwhile venture.
