Skaftfell - Center for Visual Art, East Iceland, hereby calls for applications for our residency program 2013 and for applications for a residency with a full grant courtesy of KKNord (minimum two months duration) especially for Nordic- or Baltic artists. 

The Skaftfell residency programs objective is to create a platform to stimulate innovative dialogue between art and life in the rural setting of East Iceland. Allowing a space for artists to experience and explore a new angle to their artistic work in context with living and working in a unique, micro community made up of artists and the general public where creativity is applied to every day life.

Skaftfell´s residency program is aimed at visual art, however professional artists are eligible to apply regardless of practice. Group and family applications are welcome. 

The residencies are located in three different houses in the town of Seyðisfjőrður; at Skaftfell, at Hóll on Vesturvegur by the river and at Norðurgata in the old part of town. The houses all have two bedrooms, bathroom with shower, kitchen, a living room area and some studio/working facilities. The houses are all equipped with internet, beds, dining sets, duvets, linen and towels for 5 people. Images on the webpage. 

Each residency period is from 1 - 6 months but applications for a residency with a duration of more than 1 month are preferred. 

For the Skaftfell residency program and the KKNord granted residency, follow the guidelines and use the designated application form found on our website: skaftfell.is/en/residency-program/application/ 

We only accept applications via snail mail.
