We only accept one-month stays.
Individual residencies are fully self-organized and -driven. We are available onsite for any questions, but residents are responsible for their own food, transportation, and work schedule.
WORKSPACE and ACCOMMODATION
We own a 160 square meter workshop/loft/apartment space called the Harbour House in the centre of Thingeyri. It is situated right next to the water and has a great overview of the fjord. This is where artists stay and work.
The Harbour House is a warehouse building split between two levels. It includes different movable work and sleeping areas, a kitchen and a bathroom. We invite one to two artist to use all the space in the Harbour House for one-month at a time. If you are a couple or two artists working together, please contact us for more information.
We provide bed linens, bath towels, laundry facilities, and a fully equipped kitchen.
Individual residents are fully independent to use their time as they want, and are responsible for their own meals, schedule, etc, but we are also available onsite if any questions arise.
