Open call: The residency program at Skaftfell Center for Visual Art, Iceland
The residency program at Skaftfell Center for Visual Art aims to create and nurture an environment for inspiration, focus, and experiment; to encourage artists to experience life and work in a unique micro community where creativity is applied to the everyday; to foster a sense of community between artists and the public in the rural setting of East Iceland; and to provide conditions that stimulate the dialogue between art and life.
The program is best suited for visual artists, but artists with interdisciplinary practices are also welcome to apply.
The Skaftfell residencies are self-directed and can be used for research and/or for production of work. Artists-in-residence have the opportunity to propose an exhibition in Skaftfell’s project space, and they are welcome to participate in the Skaftfell educational program, including artist talks, open studios, workshops for the local community and for primary school children.
The duration of a residency at Skaftfell can be chosen by the applicant – the minimum length of stay is 1 month, and the maximum is 6 months. Applications for a residency period of 2 months or longer are given preference.
The deadline to apply is 1 September 2016.
