Children’s Art Exploration Days was organized by Concerts Norway for the first time in 1998, as part of Oslo World. In 2018, Oslo World took over the responsibility of organizing the Children’s festival in Oslo, as well as the coordination of the network of events around the country. Since 2008 Children’s Art Exploration Days has spread to several places in Norway, and was last year organized in 16 different municipalities in Norway.

The municipality of Trondheim was organizing Children's Art Exploration day for the first time in 2011. Since then a lot of professional artists and talented children have visited us, together with a large and exciting audience. The event is a big collaboration that gathers people with ancestry from across the world, with many different cultural expressions.
