The studio collectives:
Rotvoll Kunstnerkollektiv
Address: Arkitekt Ebbels veg 22
www.rotvollkunst.no
Rotvoll Kunstnerkollektiv (RKK) is an interdisciplinary working community for professional artists in Trondheim, with the main emphasis on visual art, music and performing arts. The working community consists of both personal studios and common spaces, such as 2 project rooms/gallery for visual arts, 2 sound/ensemble rooms, 2 larger screening/concert rooms and a media lab. Following great demand for studios, RKK has expanded its premises in its fifth year of operation, and now consists of two buildings from the old asylum, idyllically situated by the Trondheimsfjord.
79 artists currently work at RKK, and a large number of guest artists and musicians are involved in RKK's exhibition and concert series Rotvoll Kunstscene and in the annual summer festival Kunstfest Rotvoll. The vision is that RKK will be a cultural hub, where professional actors in visual art, music and performing arts can together create good working conditions, new collaborations and at the same time open up the house for art dissemination to a wide Trondheim audience.
Gregus Kunstnerverksteder
Adresse: Frostaveien 2c
Gregus Kunstnerverksteder is a studio collective for 11 artists within arts and crafts and fine arts.
In 1988, a group of artists, mainly in the textile art field, started a studio collective in the old ‘housewife school’ building on Dronningens gate in collaboration with Trondheim municipality. In 1998, the artists moved from the centre of town to the old margarine factory on Gregus gate in Lademoen, and took the name Gregus Kunstnerverksteder. In August 2022 the collective moved to temporary facilities in Frostaveien 2.
While they are waiting for permanent studios the artists would like to welcome curious audiences to have a look at a studio collective in limbo during Trondheim Open!

Independent studios
A fair part of the artists in Trondheim and Trøndelag work in independent studios. These are studios that are not a part of a bigger collective, and you’ll find them for example in the artists home, an old warehouse or a custom made workshop. There are many intriguing studios around Trøndelag and this Saturday you’ll be able to discover both known and unknown spaces and figure out if there are any artist studios in your neighborhood.
