Christmas Lottery
, 14:00
The first Sunday in Advent, 28. November at 14:00, we invite you to an exciting experience and a cozy Christmas atmosphere at Bergen Kunsthall. All Bergen Kunsthall members have the chance to win works of art purchased by Bergen-based or -related artists, completely in line with the Bergens Kunstforening´s early history.
We look forward to spinning the lottery balls live in front of an audience at this year’s Christmas Lottery! Even though it was great success with the digital version last year, where staff wearing face masks and antibac, drew the balls on an online stream. There is still something very special about seeing the winners and other Kunsthall members in the flesh and enjoying a hot cup of mulled wine together!

A Bergen painter, I.C. Dahl, who was also the association’s founder, was bought for the first lottery in 1839, where 17 works by Norwegian artists were raffled off. A generation later, several works by Edvard Munch were included in the Christmas lottery! The works were in connection with Munch´s solo exhibitions at Bergen Kunstforening in 1895, 1902 and 1915. In the last hundred years, the tradition of presenting both well-established and newly educated artists has been well maintained.
