Open Call — Fish Factory Creative Centre of Stöðvarfjörður 2027
Overview
The Fish Factory Creative Centre, situated in the remote village of Stöðvarfjörður on Iceland's East Fjords, has established itself as a vital outpost for artistic research and production. Housed in a former fish processing facility, the centre offers a unique environment where creative practitioners can work in close dialogue with the surrounding landscape and community. The residency is designed to support the development of new work, providing time and space away from the pressures of urban centres. For the 2027 cycle, the centre welcomes applications from musicians and dancers. This call is open to practitioners at various stages of their careers, with a particular interest in those whose work engages with site-specificity, collaboration, or interdisciplinary exploration. The residency offers the selected artists the opportunity to immerse themselves in the stark and inspiring environment of the East Fjords, where the interplay of isolation and community can catalyse new creative directions. While the exact terms of the residency—including duration, stipend, and facilities—are not specified in the available information, the Fish Factory's track record suggests a commitment to supporting ambitious, process-oriented work. Artists are encouraged to articulate how the unique context of Stöðvarfjörður would inform their practice. The centre's ethos prioritises experimentation and exchange, making it an ideal setting for those seeking to push their work into new territories.
