OPEN CALL:Fish Factory Creative Centre of Stöðvarfjörður–Winter 2020
The Creative Centre is an ongoing collaborative and community project and our actions and aims are based on sustainable principles and alternative methods. We want to regenerate and sustain our small village by making it into a possible and desirable place to settle – a place where you can have engaging jobs, enjoy culture, and the influx of new ideas and creative people. The Centre is a platform offering many different workshops and facilities where small initiatives can thrive and jobs can be created. We run a year-round Art Residency (excluding December) for most creative fields and we frequently host cultural events and concerts.
Duration of residency: 1-6 Months (excluding December)
Accommodation
Our Residency Artists stay together in two big houses. The houses are located in the heart of our small village and are about 3-4 min walking distance from the Centre. The houses each have a garden, spacious bedrooms, large kitchens, a living room, a bathroom, a washroom and internet access. Each artist has there own private bedroom and shares other facilities with his/her housemates. Upon arrival, each artist gets a towel and bed linen. We also provide toilet paper, products for house cleaning, and washing machine soap.
