We are 20 minutes from the majestic Dynjandi waterfall, often referred to as The Jewell of the Westfjords. The land is surrounded by black sand beaches, waterfalls, rivers and wildlife including seals, whales, arctic fox, mink and many, many birds. List og Land, (Icelandic for "Art and Land,") is open to photographers, writers, and painters. We currently do not have a ceramics or music studio, though we are expanding to accommodate more creative disciplines. Our mission is to provide emerging and established artists and writers the time and space to focus entirely on their work. We consider the land and the surrounding beauty of our residency, an environment that fosters inspiration, community and collaboration. We strive to create a warm and inviting space for nurturing creativity and friendship. ### Duration of residency Twenty-four day Residencies.
