In the organiser's words
Quoted from fishfactory.is and checked on 31 August 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
The residency is designed as a space for focused work, experimentation, and reflection. Although it is self-directed and does not follow a formal teaching or critique structure, it is shaped by a sense of community, with shared meals, informal exchanges, and occasional open studios. Residents manage their own time and projects independently. We offer a shared studio and access to a range of facilities and workshops, including wood, ceramics, printmaking, a kitchen, and a concert hall.
We also run a dedicated Music Residency together with Studio Silo. Residents stay in private bedrooms in shared artist houses in the village, within walking distance of the centre. If you are interested in leading a workshop, showing work, holding a concert, or trying out a new idea while in residence, we are generally open to proposals. 2027 January 11 – 27 (110,000 ISK) February 1 – 26 March 3 – 29 April 5 – 30 May 5 – 31 June 3 – 28 July 5 – 30 August 4 – 30 September 2 – 27 October 4 – 29 November 3 – 29 December 2 – 20 (120,000 ISK) Our Centre is a place to meet with other creative people in a warm collaborative community.
The staff are at work Monday-Friday from 9:00 – 16:00, while residency artists have 24/7 access to the building. We offer a shared studio space for eight artists (95 m2). The studio spaces function as a “home base” for the artists and from there they can work on their creative projects in various facilities and workshops. The Centre has wood-, metal-, ceramic- and print workshops as well as a kitchen, small library, and a concert hall.
Residency artists are provided with accommodation in family-size houses situated in the heart of our small village. Each artist has their own private bedroom and shares a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and washroom with the other artists. Internet access, a washing machine, bed linen, and a towel are provided. We offer the Shared Studio at a price of 160.000 ISK per month, with everything above included. Artists take care of their own expenses for transport, meals, and art supplies. Duration of residency one residency period, or more
Our Residency Artists stay together in two 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, bedrooms, large kitchens, a living room, a bathroom, a washroom, and internet access. Each artist has their own private bedroom and shares other facilities with their housemates. Upon arrival, each artist gets a towel and bed linen.
We also provide toilet paper, products for house cleaning, and washing machine soap. Artists are expected to clean their accommodation during their stay and upon their departure to deliver the accommodation in orderly state.
The Residency is multi-disciplinary and open to most creative directions. The Centre is equipped with wood workshop, print workshops, a ceramic workshop, a photolab with darkroom, a kitchen, a recording studio, and a Concert hall.

The purpose of this residency program is to provide artists with the time and space to focus and introspect on their practice on their own terms in a warm collaborative community. Therefore there is no obligation placed on our participating artists to have any kind of artistic output to the broader community.
We accept applications throughout the year.
