Residency fees vary depending on the season (summer/winter). Rooms are for one artist only, unless specified otherwise. Fees always include access to all work facilities and equipment (EXCEPT the Textile Lab and the equipment located there, which needs to be booked separately!), WiFi, and bills regarding housing (electricity, water, etc.), an introduction to the exhibitions in Kvennaskólinn and the Textile Museum. Basic linen, towels, and other kitchen / bathroom essentials (soap and dishwasher detergent, etc.) are also supplied. Artists are responsible for all other living expenses, like food, travel cost and work materials. Prices quoted are per month.
Please note that we are a non-profit organisation and try to keep our fees as low as possible. A standard residency (winter) costs approx. 28 Euros per day.
