About USF Verftet

[Auto translated by Tim & Google!]

The USF Cultural Center Foundation is responsible for renting out studios and offices, all stages, catering, the USF Screening Room, the Air Bergen guest artist scheme and the USF Startkontor.

All the businesses in the USF building are independent and are not directly connected to the administration of the USF Cultural Center Foundation. If you wish to contact any of the businesses, you can find information here.

USF at Verftet is known as Bergen's large cultural and stage house, but is also the country's largest co-location of art, culture and creative businesses. Approximately 200 people work here and produce art and culture with a national and international reach. The environment is interdisciplinary and includes artists, producers, festivals, non-profit organizations, commercial businesses and industry organizations. Overall, the businesses at USF represent a large share of the art and cultural production in Bergen.

USF is idyllically located on the shores of Puddefjorden, on the west side of the Nordnes peninsula.

Here you will find the stages Sardinen USF, Studio USF, Hallen USF and Røkeriet USF. The Cinemateket USF cinema shows films, and the Visningsrommet USF gallery hosts changing exhibitions and art projects. Kippers Bar and Café is open every day, and the outdoor seating on the quay in the summer is legendary – right next to the Puddefjord, the sunset and the boat traffic.

The Kulturhuset USF Foundation receives funding for its operations from Bergen Municipality and Vestland County.
