Societal Impact

For decades, Awilhelmsen and its owning family have been committed to generating societal impact, aligning commercial ambitions with our responsibility toward the greater good. As with our commercial investments, our investment lens is long-term, viewing each decision for its immediate impact and long-term value we can create for future generations.

The Lise Wilhelmsen Art Award Programme (LWAAP) is the largest of its kind in Norway, and among the most significant art award programmes internationally, assisting mid-career artists with exposure and financial support.
