Trøndelag Bildende Kunstnere (TBK) 
is the professional organization for fine artists in the region of Trøndelag, and is linked to the national union, Norske Billedkunstnere (NBK), whose work aim to support the ideal, economical and social rights for professional artists.

Making sure the artists are being payed an artist fee when showing work is one of the acts of support. The work to expand possibility of receiving artist grants as well as fronting a broader understanding of contemporary arts is on going matters. The union is also actively working for the possibility to live and work as a contemporary artists anywhere in the country. It is important to offer enough studios and work places for visual artists, as well as a broad offer on cultural activities outside the central areas.

Here we vote for our members to take part in different tasks, such as representation in juries, evaluating artistic qualities within the region as well as on a national level.
