Nes Artist Residency

Nes Artist Residency (Nes Listamiðstöð) is an international, self-funded residency program based in Skagaströnd, Iceland, welcoming artists and writers from all creative fields and career stages. Residents share an open-plan studio in a converted former fish factory and pursue self-directed work with no requirement to produce finished pieces. The residency also offers short-term and group stays for art collectives and study abroad programs, and hosts an average of ten artists in residence at a time. Nes is deeply rooted in the community of Skagaströnd, working in partnership with the local municipality, and emphasizes cultural exchange, regional development, and international dialogue.
