Bodø2024 is looking for program coordinators. Application deadline: 7 November 2021

The Artistic Advisory Board will play an important role in Bodø2024’s development of an artistic programme at a high international level, in line with the criteria for the European Capital of Culture concept. It will participate in the planning and assessment of the artistic program developed by Bodø2024 during the coming preparatory years, through announcements and commissions.

True North' is a filmed live-performance for future streaming release with new music from a-ha.

The title of European Capital of Culture 2024 is both an honour and a huge responsibility. Through their successful application, with a focus on Salt.Water and the 4 Programme lines (Power of Tradition, Strength of Counter Culture, Impact of (Hyper)Tourism, Flow to Retreat), the region has come together to invite Europe to the Salzkammergut.

Strange numerical coincidences.  On July 24, the ministry of cultural heritage in Italy issued a press release announcing that there are 24 candidate cities for the Italian capital of culture in 2024. In short, everything depends on the number 24.
