The Skaftfell residencies offer time and space for independent research, reflection, and experimentation. Artists are encouraged to use their stay for in-depth inquiries into their work processes and conceptual interests, to use the nature of the fjord as a source of energy and inspiration, to work at the interface of art and life, to share thoughts with other artists, and to embrace the idea of a “slow residency” that is embedded in a small but vibrant rural community.
To foster the mobility of artists between the Nordic and Baltic countries.
Artists-in-residence have the opportunity to present their work in an open studio or pop-up exhibition, to give an artist talks or workshops and participate in the art center’s education program for school children following consultation with Skaftfell’s education manager.
