In 1992, the festival’s format and scope remained largely the same as in the previous year. The new festival newspaper (published 1992–4) encapsulated this in the headline ‘21 exhibitions – 100 artists’.

Of the 100 artists, between forty and fifty participated in North Norwegian Art Center’s annual group exhibition. The main exhibition for 1992 – in Atelier Lofoten’s gallery – included five artists who had received Nordland county’s working stipends between 1989 and 1991. The work that seemed to generate the most discussion in the media was a copy of Gustav Vigeland’s beloved sculpture, Sinnataggen, which was made in response to the theft of the original from Vigeland Park a year earlier. The unveiling of the local power company Lofotkraft’s recently purchased sculpture by Aase Texmon Rygh, Tema X, was also part of the programme.
