Rangøya International Cultural Centre (Rangøya internasjonale kultursenter AS) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to cultural exchange, artist residencies, and events that strengthen bilateral and international cultural relations. The centre hosts writers, poets, translators and other artists, and organises seminars, workshops and public cultural programmes. All artistic disciplines are welcome, with a particular emphasis on literature and literary dissemination. Likewise, the centre is open to participants from all regions, while maintaining a special focus on Nordic and Baltic collaboration.

Rangøya International Cultural Centre is structured as a non-profit limited liability company with a clear societal mission. It does not distribute dividends; all income is reinvested in activities that benefit the public and support artistic exchange.

Activities are based in a main house with four bedrooms, suitable for 2–4 residents, which also functions as a venue for workshops, intimate events and seminars. The centre is located by the renowned Atlantic coastline, surrounded by a recreational landscape offering opportunities for swimming, kayaking, hiking and other outdoor pursuits. The centre cultivates strong ties to the regional literary community and works actively to connect visiting artists with local writers, artists and cultural environments.

The free residency program is specifically designed to create a meeting place between nations, as it is a condition that at least two nationalities are present. Applications will be accepted from at least two writers, translators or artists from at least two countries applying together. The recommended maximum number of applicants is four. Multidiciplinary artistic cooperation is welcomed, but at least one of the applicants should work within literature.

Recommended length of the residency is one month, but the exact days can be agreed upon. Residents may be invited to participate in cultural events or public readings. Blog entries or similar reflections about the residency are also encouraged. Applications will be reviewed by the Centre's artistic council, prioritizing them with regard to the applicants' professional achievements and merits, plans for the residency and potential contribution to the local cultural scene. All nationalities (including locals) are welcome to apply, but applications with a Nordic and/or Baltic connection may be prioritized.
