About the residency

Textilmiðstöð Íslands – Icelandic Textile Center, located in Blönduós, Iceland, is a non-profit organization dedicated to textile art and scholarship. Founded in 2007, it emerged from a grassroots initiative to establish a dedicated hub for textile practices in the region. The center operates residency programs, exhibitions, and workshops, fostering dialogue between Icelandic and international artists. Its core mission is to support research, experimentation, and cross-disciplinary exchange in textiles, with a particular emphasis on site-specific and material-driven inquiry. The center's remote setting in northwest Iceland provides a unique context for artists to engage with landscape, heritage, and contemporary textile discourse.

Planning your application

Artists and scholars should approach the center with a clear project proposal that demonstrates engagement with textile materials, processes, or theory. Residencies are open to emerging and established practitioners; applications typically require a project description, portfolio, and statement of intent. Given the center's remote location, applicants should articulate how the Icelandic context—its landscape, culture, or textile history—informs their work. It is advisable to review past resident projects to understand the center's ethos. Proposals that are site-responsive and show a willingness to experiment are favored. Deadlines are announced on the website; early preparation is recommended.
