KORO (Public Art Norway) is the national agency for public art, operating under Norway’s Ministry of Culture. It curates, produces, and activates art in public spaces across Norway and in Norwegian diplomatic missions abroad.
Beyond commissioning and funding new works, KORO serves as a national centre for research and knowledge development in the field of public art. Its mandate is to make art accessible in everyday environments — from civic spaces and universities to outdoor landscapes — while upholding artistic freedom and diversity.
Through initiatives such as LOK (Art in Local Communities), KORO collaborates directly with municipalities, artists, and residents to develop place-specific art projects that reflect local identity, participation, and shared ownership of cultural spaces.
