Bodø in the North of Norway is the first European Capital of Culture above the Arctic Circle. In 2024 Bodø and the region of Nordland will reconnect with Europe and the world beyond.
The regional capital of Bodø is home of 50.000 people, living urban Arctic lives on the outskirts of Europe, but in the very centre of the resourceful and contrasting North.
ARCTICulation is the title of Bodø's bid. «It's time to articulate the pulse of the Arctic». The word ARCTICulation contains many aspects that are important to us; Arctic and Articulation, of course. But also Communication. Art. Cultivation. Community. And even Artig, a North Norwegian word for fun.
Our programme will celebrate and reflect the qualities of the Arctic. Its unique relationship with land and sea and nature. Its unknown and exciting history. Its invention, resilience and imagination. We want to share with Europe some of our Arctic values, by delivering a challenging and innovative cultural programme. Bodø is ready to transition from Arctic to ARCTICulation. From cold to cool.
The doors of our region, and our hearts, are wide open.
