USF is Bergen's largest concert venue and stage house, located in a former sardine factory. The building houses five different venues used for the presentation of music, theater, film and contemporary art. In addition, there are several artist studios and offices on the premises. USF serves as an important gathering point for art, film and music, and is a central player for creative businesses in Bergen and Norway.
The center organizes a diverse range of cultural activities, including concerts, cinema, art exhibitions and performing arts. USF also hosts the artist residency AiR Bergen, which gives artists the opportunity to develop their projects. The proximity to a city bike station and accessible parking spaces for people with disabilities make it easy to visit the place. USF is only a nine-minute walk from Torgallmenningen, which contributes to accessibility for both locals and visitors.
