Format celebrates The Norwegian Association for Arts and Crafts' 50th anniversary with a group exhibition in the gallery's exhibition space and sales area. The anniversary exhibition is a collaboration between the gallery and NK Oslo, and aims to present The Norwegian Association for Arts and Crafts' long history with craft artists associated with the Oslo area. The 14 NK Oslo members selected showcase the variations within the field in terms of age, expression, materials, and techniques. The exhibition will familiarize the public with the craft field in Oslo and the diversity it possesses. Crafts are an important part of Oslo's culture, where both quality and development are expressed through the work of NK Oslo's 343 members.

The selection is made by NK Oslo member John K. Raustein and NK Oslo regional leader Ebbe Arneberg, together with Format's managing director, Irija Øwre.

The exhibition is supported by Norske Kunsthåndverkere in connection with the 50th anniversary of Norske Kunsthåndverkere in 2025.
