KHiO 30th Anniversary!

KHiO 30th Anniversary!

In 2026, we mark 30 years since the Oslo National Academy of the Arts was established. The anniversary will be marked and celebrated.

On October 30 2026, we invite you to a jubilee celebration with events taking place both at KHiO and at Oslo City Hall. An invitation and registration details will follow. For now, please save the date!

On August 1 1996, five previously independent art institutions were merged into a single institution: The Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts (1909), The National College of Art and Design (1818), the Academy of Theatre (1953), the Academy of Opera (1964), and the National College of Ballet and Dance (1979).

Three decades later, the Oslo National Academy of the Arts is a vibrant house for artistic research, education, exhibitions and performances – driven by passion, curiosity, knowledge and hard work. The anniversary is an opportunity to look back at our history, celebrate the people who have shaped the institution, and look ahead to the next 30 years.

This page will be regularly updated with events and content related to KHiO’s 30th aniversary.
