S12 Gallery and Workshop is a unique resource center for glass art in Bergen, and the only one of its kind in Norway. The gallery focuses on the role of glass in contemporary art and design, and organizes annual exhibitions that highlight this theme. In addition to the exhibitions, S12 has an experimental project space that is used for artist talks, performance art and courses, which gives visitors the opportunity to engage with different art forms.
The workshop is professionally equipped for glassblowing and other methods of glass processing. The center also offers courses for children and youth, with an emphasis on creative participation and glasswork. Through a guest artist program, artists have the opportunity to experiment with materials, resulting in unique installations and collaborative projects. S12 Gallery and Workshop thus contributes to the promotion of glass art and creates a creative environment for both established and upcoming artists.
