With seventeen artists from eight nations participating, This is Art, the exhibition currently on display at Bergen Kunsthall in Norway, is a study in artistic diversity. And that is just the way the Bergen National Academy of the Arts wants it. This is Art represents the artists of the first class to graduate from the MFA program at the Academy of the Arts, a program bent on forging a more diverse world within the global professional artistic community.

The work of students from Brazil, Denmark, England, Finland, Ghana, Mexico, Norway, and Portugal will be presented in what many hope will be a long and successful program for the Academy, one of only two independent institutions of higher learning in the visual arts and design in Norway. If you happen to be in or near Norway, stop by and take a look. The world is getting smaller everyday.
