WILLAS contemporary was founded in 2015 as a gallery located next to the City Hall of Oslo, focusing on contemporary photography. Within the span of 3 years, the gallery was rated as one of the top three galleries and art institutions in Norway.
The founder, Ellen-K Willas, now acts as a nomadic gallerist, art advisor, and curator with showrooms in Oslo and Stockholm.
WILLAS contemporary represents internationally acclaimed artists who are at the forefront of movements for change, grappling with society’s most prescient challenges, injustices, hopes, and joys. The programming consists of a playful and unpredictable combination of museum-like pop-up exhibitions, international art fairs, and online exclusive exhibitions.
