The location is part of an old industry complex from 19th century which now belongs to Strykejernet Kunstskole. It is situated in the middle of Oslo's most vibrant and artistic neighbourhoods, Grünerløkka. The building is right besides the river Akers Elva and opposite to Blå, a well-known club in Oslo. Although the name Ingensteds literally means 'nowhere', the place is known to many people in Oslo and it is one of the few places even foreigners visit.
Ingensteds used to be our favourite place since we started AOW in 2010. The spirit of our festival and our focus on arts education fits well into the core areas of the school and so we got permission to use the facilities for one entire week. We can expect to have many arts students from different disciplines visiting and we're looking forward to a great third festival year.
