Once again, we are proud to present our B-Sides exhibition which brings together regional, national and international artists working within the field loosely termed Urban Contemporary Art. Urban Contemporary takes its cues from urban artforms loosely associated with popular culture, comic art, tattooing, street art, graffiti, gaming culture, skate culture, music and other forms of contemporary urban expression. Much like Jazz, it's roots lay in a combination of raw classic post war American pop culture which was later refined by a more European "art" sensibility.

B-Sides refers to those hidden gems found on the backside of mainstream "hits" pressed on vinyl. The exhibition follows the format of the 12" x 12" album cover, a format and genre regarded as an artform in and of itself, though much neglected since the onset of digital file sharing and MP3's.

B-Sides promises to be a show of affordable art where those "Hidden Gems" await discovery.

Maijazz is the oldest and greatest music festival in Stavanger.

Since the first festival in 1989 MaiJazz has developed to be one of Norway's leading jazz festivals presenting international jazz stars and the best in national and local jazz every year. Approximately 200 volunteers are gathered to arrange about 40 concerts on 20 stages in and around Stavanger, that can accommodate from 80 to 1800 people.
