Galleri F 15

What Galleri F 15 does

Galleri F 15 is a Norwegian nonprofit contemporary art gallery founded in 1971, located at Alby farm in the landscape conservation area of Søndre Jeløy in Moss, Norway. Its core operations center on rotating exhibitions — most notably the Tendenser series (running since 1971, with the 47th edition on Nordic contemporary ceramics opening June 2026) and co-hosting of the MOMENTUM Nordic Biennial for Contemporary Art (currently in its 13th edition with Tenthaus). The gallery also runs a Ragnhild Keyser retrospective opening in October 2026 and maintains a permanent collection.

The institution operates as a multi-format cultural venue combining exhibition galleries, guided tours (in Norwegian, English, and Ukrainian), drop-in family workshops every Sunday, school programs in partnership with Den kulturelle skolesekken, and the Blikkåpnere youth employment program for 16–19 year-olds. Supporting amenities include the Alby Kafé, gallery shop, and Naturehuset visitor center. The venue is open Tuesday–Sunday 11:00–17:00.

Revenue is earned primarily through ticket sales (100 NOK standard adult admission, 50 NOK for students and seniors, free for under-25s and members), supplemented by the café, shop, and roughly 400 Friends of F 15 members. The gallery is publicly funded through Norwegian cultural support mechanisms including Norwegian Crafts sponsorship of the Tendenser series, and operates under Norwegian organization number 965240217. A leadership transition is underway, with Elisabeth Byre appointed as incoming director in March 2026.
