Sámi Dáiddaguovddáš (SDG) was established in 1986, and is the leading international center for contemporary Sámi artists.
SDG’s purpose is to be a significant exhibition arena with a main focus on international Sámi contemporary art with local anchoring in Sápmi, while being an important meeting place for artists and art enthusiasts.

SDG’s vision is to be an important, topical meeting place in the middle of Sápmi, while being an important cultural carrier and cultural intermediary within and outside the Sámi community.

SDG is an institution with the purpose of supporting, communicating and visualizing Sámi contemporary art in Europe, to indigenous areas and to the largest art arenas in the world. Another important purpose SDG has is to convey and create an interest and understanding of contemporary art expressions, while providing room for new and experimental artistic practices and work for artistic freedom of speech.

Sámi Dáiddaguovddáš works to develop and expand the meeting of contemporary Sámi art with the audience.
