Artistic Vision

Within an ever-changing cultural landscape, Reykjavík Arts Festival is a generator of innovation and collaboration in the Icelandic arts scene. The festival hosts outstanding artistic creations from all corners of the world while also nurturing a powerful and vibrant relationship with its audiences, widening the circle to include as many as possible so that they may enjoy the arts on their own terms.

In a world where the exponential growth of change surpasses our human understanding, art serves as  a way for all of us to express and interpret our experiences.

Reykjavík Arts Festival celebrates diversity and prioritises accessibility and respect for the environment in all decision making.

Programming is driven by courage, professionalism, joy and big thinking and the aim is always for events to be relevant and of deep value for the community.
