UK SPRING EXHIBITION 1982

Unge Kunstneres Samfund was founded on 28 October 1921 and today has approx. 600 members living all over the country.

The purpose clause of UKS states that UKS is a nationwide association for young visual artists. UKS must take care of the social and professional interests of its members and disseminate their work. UKS must also defend freedom of expression and promote understanding among artists and other professional groups.

The work for the young and unestablished is UKS's most important task. Debut exhibitions leave their mark on our business and many well-known artists have had their first exhibition with us.

The Spring Exhibition is the UK's largest annual collection and was held for the first time in 1956 in Kunstnernes Hus, where (apart from 1968) it was an annual guest until 1970. Since then it has been held alternately in Oslo and other Norwegian cities. This year it is back in place in Kunstnernes Hus with a large collective exhibition that includes painting, textiles, graphics, drawing and sculpture.

In addition to this large department, this year we have the pleasure of showing young art from the academies in Copenhagen and Stockholm. At the same time, guests from the Norwegian Academy of Fine Arts show their own department in the UKS building in Rådhusgt. 19. the board of UKS.
