Supported by the Sami Parliament and the county of Finnmark, it houses exhibitions in former industrial premises on the outskirts of Karasjok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Centre is about connecting traditional, modern and &#8216;world view&#8217; contemporary art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Its aim is to be a venue for exhibitions of Sami contemporary art, which ranges from avant-garde expressions to &#8220;duodji&#8221;, traditional Sami handicrafts. It also aims to promote dialogue between Sami art and other contemporary art from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-style-faq\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\t\t\t\tPractical information about visiting Karasjok\n\t\t\t<\/h3><div class=\"t2-accordion wp-block-t2-accordion\" data-allow-multiple=\"1\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"where-is-karasjok-and-how-do-i-get-there?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tWhere is Karasjok and how do I get there?\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevrondown\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 14.9c-.1 0-.3 0-.4-.1-.1 0-.2-.1-.3-.2L6.7 10c-.2-.1-.3-.4-.3-.6 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l3.9 3.9 3.9-3.9c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3.3 0 .5.1.7.3.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7l-4.6 4.6c-.1.1-.2.2-.3.2H12z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevronup\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7 14.7c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7l4.6-4.6c.1-.1.2-.2.3-.2.1 0 .2-.1.4-.1.1 0 .3 0 .4.1.1 0 .2.1.3.2l4.6 4.6c.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3L12 10.8l-3.9 3.9c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel\" aria-labelledby=\"where-is-karasjok-and-how-do-i-get-there?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tKarasjok is located in central eastern Northern Norway close to the Finnish border.

Sven Flygare Johansen&#8217;s exhibition in Karasjok ran at the same time as an equivalent exhibition in the Beaconsfield Gallery in London.

The centre is also involved in partnership projects with museums and galleries in Nordkalotten, and has participated in festivals such as the Barents Spektakel in Kirkenes. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1fc7d304d906949c5d7e3b0a79f8ed4b.jpg\" data-size=\"960x640\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1fc7d304d906949c5d7e3b0a79f8ed4b.jpg\" alt=\"Some artwork can also be found outside the centre \u00a9 SDG\/Monika Anti\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1fc7d304d906949c5d7e3b0a79f8ed4b.jpg\" data-caption=\"Some artwork can also be found outside the centre \u00a9 SDG\/Monika Anti\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e44a2d8efccad3c21c61bd67a16828e6.jpg\" data-size=\"960x640\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e44a2d8efccad3c21c61bd67a16828e6-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Admiring the artist&#039;s skill \u00a9 SDG\/Monika Anti\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e44a2d8efccad3c21c61bd67a16828e6.jpg\" data-caption=\"Admiring the artist&#039;s skill \u00a9 SDG\/Monika Anti\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Some artwork can also be found outside the centre \u00a9 SDG\/Monika Anti<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Admiring the artist&#039;s skill \u00a9 SDG\/Monika Anti<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"vnn__byline vnn-grid has-author has-date has-tags\"><div class=\"vnn__byline-meta\"><div class=\"vnn__byline-author\">Written by Knut Hansvold<\/div><div class=\"vnn__byline-date\">March 18, 2020<\/div><div class=\"vnn__byline-date\">Last updated September 1, 2025<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vnn__byline-tags\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_se-og-gjore=art\" rel=\"tag\">Art<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_se-og-gjore=culture-and-history\" rel=\"tag\">Culture and history<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_se-og-gjore=sapmi-culture\" rel=\"tag\">Sami Culture<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_omrder=finnmarksvidda\" rel=\"tag\">Finnmarksvidda<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":6998,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_searchwp_excluded":"","vnn_header_layout":"featured","vnn_header_layout_image_id":6998,"vnn_header_layout_image_focal_point_x":0.49565002441406,"vnn_header_layout_image_focal_point_y":0.58300758304453,"vnn_header_layout_description":"","vnn_header_layout_url":"","vnn_header_layout_url_text":"","vnn_header_layout_photographer":"SDG\/Monika Anti","vnn_header_layout_video_id":"","vnn_header_layout_yt_id":"","vnn_header_layout_vimeo_id":"","teft_location_geodata_lat":69.469802460385,"teft_location_geodata_lng":25.511638355674,"teft_cards_image_id":6998,"teft_cards_image_focal_point_x":0.51065002441406,"teft_cards_image_focal_point_y":0.55022573829594,"teft_cards_title":"","teft_cards_excerpt":"","footnotes":""},"todo":[87,19,81],"facilities":[],"season":[],"region":[52],"malgrupper":[22,76],"class_list":["post-4405","artikler","type-artikler","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","todo-art","todo-culture-and-history","todo-sapmi-culture","region-finnmarksvidda","malgrupper-culture-lover","malgrupper-modernist"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v25.3.1) -

There is no airport in Karasjok, therefore it is recommended to fly to Lakselv to the north and take a bus or rent a car to make the journey. Karasjok is far from the ocean, therefore no boat routes will take you there.\n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"When is the best time of year to visit?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tKarasjokk is well inland, and therefore experiences a continental climate pattern. During the winter months it&#039;s not uncommon for Karasjok to be the coldest place in all Norway with temperatures in January example averaging at -17, but having dropped below -45 degrees Celsius on occasion. In the Summer however, the temperature can rise into the high 20s and low 30s.
