    Festspillene i Nord-Norge 2020 2020 is cancelled. This year artists and audiences can not gather at concerts, performances and exhibitions in Harstad as we normally do. We therefore invite all of Northern Norway (and the world) to take part in art experiences this week. There will be an opening ceremony in your garden, premiere of new music, home concert in Reykjavik, Iceland, digital workshop and artist talks. Our mission with NO NO fest is to see if the arts can create connections between the artist and the audience in these unprecedented times.
