We use activity to build community

Kulturbryggeriet is a voluntary cultural organisation based in Sortland. We develop activities and meeting places that make it easier for people to take part, meet up and try something new.

Who we are

We work with culture, creativity, music, physical activity and social meeting places. The activities can be aimed at different groups and can be run on our own or together with local partners.

Why we exist

We want an inclusive environment with equal opportunities – including for people who, for financial, social or other reasons, may find it harder to take part.

We use activities and cultural events as tools for:

participation
achievement
diversity
community

How we work

We don't always start with a finished concept.

Sometimes we start with:

a place
a group of people
a local idea
a challenge
a partner

and develop the activity from there.

Our story

Kulturbryggeriet builds on earlier initiatives in music and design – Musikkbryggeriet and Designbryggeriet. Those ways of working have helped shape how the organisation develops activities today.

Today Kulturbryggeriet brings the work together in one voluntary cultural organisation: activities, meeting places and cultural experiences that make it easier to take part.

Musikkbryggeriet → Designbryggeriet → Kulturbryggeriet

Values

Inclusion

It should be easy to take part – whatever your background or experience.

Local roots

Activities are shaped by the place, the people and the partnerships there.

Achievement and meeting others

We make room for trying something new and meeting others.
