In the organiser's words
Quoted from textilecenter.is and checked on 1 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
Ós residency at the Textile Center in Blönduós, Iceland, seeks to promote an atmosphere of creativity, experimentation and reflection for artists and scholars working inside the textile field. We accept submissions from emerging, mid-career, and senior level artists and scholars all year round (open call). The residency is situated in a historic building and former Women’s College in Blönduós, northwest Iceland. The residency can accommodate 8-14 artists every month.
Each resident is provided with his/her own bedroom equipped with a small desk and scenic view, access to studio facilities and open plan work space in the communal studio. Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. We also offer a Tc2 residency and private accommodation for groups (4 max.) or individual artists in two houses next door. Since 2021, artists in residence also have access to the Textile Center’s TextileLab (not included in the residency fee!).
Depending on availability (sign up on site), artists can work with equipment including a Tc2 sample loom, felt loom, tufting guns, digital knitting machine, digital sewing machine, laser cutter and printer. Artists in residence also have access to the Textile Museum in Blönduós. In walking distance, there is a great gym and heated outdoor pool. Since it first opened in 2013, the residency has hosted many textile artists and scholars from all around the world.
Since 2017, residents are featured in our annual Ós Residency Catalog. The Textile Center does not offer or facilitate exhibitions on a regular basis, but artists in residence are welcome to initiate open houses, group or solo exhibitions.
