HISTORY
The Norwegian Photographic Fund (Nofofo) was established by Forbundet Frie Fotografer (The Norwegian Association of Fine Art Photographers - FFF) in 1979. Statutes of the new fund was approved by the association's board meeting May 16th 1979, and was approved by the Ministry on June 1st the same year. The current statutes are available in Norwegian HERE.
Nofofo grants financial support to Fotogalleriet and FFF as fixed annual allocations. Since 2012, the fund has also granted annual support for The Spring Exhibition, the peer-reviewed group exhibition organized by FFF that takes place at Fotogalleriet each year. Nofofo also accepts and grants applications for project, exhibition and publication support from individual artists.
Nofofo occasionally supports extraordinary projects, such as when they advertised for an editor for a magazine about camera-based art in 2009. Of all the submitted applications, Nina Strand was granted the support with her idea for Objektiv. The magazine was then founded by Strand as Editor in Chief, together with an advisory board. Objektiv is independent and not organizationally connected to Nofofo, FFF or Fotogalleriet.
