Nynorsk kultursentrum

Nynorsk kultursentrum (the Nynorsk Cultural Centre) is a Norwegian non-profit foundation dedicated to promoting Nynorsk written culture. It was founded on 31 August 1993 and is organised with a board and a council. The foundation owns and operates three cultural centres: Ivar Aasen-tunet in Ørsta, Haugesenteret in Ulvik, and Vinjesenteret in Vinje. Through these venues it runs a broad cultural programme throughout the year, with the highlight being Dei Nynorske Festspela (the Nynorsk Festival) held at the end of June, an annual celebration of Nynorsk written culture. The foundation works in mutual cooperation with the Ivar Aasen-instituttet in Volda. It is backed by 19 counties, municipalities, educational institutions, cultural institutions and organisations, including Noregs Mållag, Noregs Ungdomslag, Litteraturselskapet Det Norske Samlaget, Det Norske Teatret, Sunnmøre Museum, Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune, Ørsta kommune, Høgskulen i Volda, Volda kommune, Møreforsking Volda, Landssamanslutninga av nynorskkommunar, Vestmannalaget, Universitetet i Bergen, Møre Folkehøgskule, Universitetet i Tromsø, Sogn og Fjordane fylkeskommune, Noregs teknisk-naturvitskaplege universitet, Hordaland fylkeskommune and Universitetet i Oslo. From 1999 to 2018 Ottar Grepstad was the director of the foundation. Since 2018 the director has been Per Magnus Finnanger Sandsmark. One of the projects run by Nynorsk kultursentrum was a Nynorsk encyclopedia. On 26 May 2009 the pilot project for what became allkunne.no, a Nynorsk cultural-historical encyclopedia, was started. The encyclopedia was owned by Det norske Samlaget and Nynorsk kultursentrum. The foundation's official website, nynorsk.no, serves as a hub for its museums and events, including the Litteraturdagane (Literature Days) festival, with programmes and ticket sales. Nynorsk kultursentrum remains an active institution in Norwegian cultural life, operating its museums and annual festivals.
