At the Arendal Week (Arendalsuka) in 2022, the Norwegian Freedom of Expression Commission launched its report. It emphasized that Norwegian arts and culture systems should engage internationally in the work for freedom of expression and cultural rights. At the same time we have experienced that our local environment is becoming more international due to immigration and internationalization of the business sector. From this backdrop cultural institutions in Arendal have established an initiative, Art27Arendal: for artistic rights, freedom of expression, democracy and internationalization.
