Wrap Satellite

Wrap Satellite uses Kunstbussen to connect artists and projects from Wrap arts centre with other artists, venues and projects around Norway - particularly the regions of Vestland and Sunnmøre.


Kunstbussen is designed to enable ambitious touring of performing arts, music, visual and hybrid projects, without imposing high demands on hosts, due to it’s onboard living facilities, tools and technical equipment. This means that Wrap Satellite can collaborate with hosts to create events that are tailored to each specific venue and it’s audience. We use the term Slow Culture to describe this approach to touring where all interactions and shared experiences are considered valuable aspects of the overall cultural exchange.


Wrap Satellite is a response to widespread challenges that artists experience with regard to touring, and to showing their work more times. It’s a way to develop strong and inspiring, long-term relationships between artists, audiences, programmers and venues.


The first touring season with Wrap Satellite took place in late 2023, with a visit to Kjelbju-låven in Dalsøyra (municipality of Gulen). We have continued to collaborate with Kjelbju-låven, as well as Hardangerakademiet for fred, utvikling og miljø in Jondal, and Kabuso arts centre in Øystese. We are also investigating other venues/initiatives that we can collaborate with, and we hope to visit more venues in the future. Examples of places that Kunstbussen hopes to collaborate with soon include Samvirket Scene & Teaterfestivalen in Fjaler, Spinea Company in Stord, and Sagatun in Skredestranda Larsnes,.


The project has received funding for three years from Vestland County, and is currently applying for additional funding and sponsorship from various sources.
