Noorderlicht is looking for Friends!

At Noorderlicht, we believe in the power of photography and lens-based media to illuminate complex societal issues and foster meaningful dialogue. As a dynamic platform, we make visual culture accessible to everyone through a critical and innovative approach. We continually push the boundaries of visual art by embracing both traditional photography and cutting-edge techniques, including new forms of digital media such as VR and AI.

Are you an art enthusiast, a photographer looking to grow, or someone who loves supporting young talent? At Noorderlicht, you are welcome to join an inspiring community where you can learn, grow, and contribute to the future of visual culture.

As a member, you support our mission and help us achieve our goals. One of these is the realization of an annual talent exhibition in our gallery, made possible by our friends and donors. Together, we are building a future full of inspiration!
