The SIM Residency welcomes visual artists of all media to Reykjavík for residencies lasting one to three months. The artist pays a residency fee for the stay at SIM as well as his own travel expenses and all other personal living expenses during the residency.

The main objective of the SIM Residency is to function as a direct link between visual artists, both nationally and internationally by bringing them together from different parts of the world to work in close company with each other.

To be a venue for international artists to take part in the Icelandic art scene, thereby creating a broader context within which local and international artists can experience their own work.

The SIM Residency seeks to promote an environment of reflection, study and play by providing artists with a working environment that supports the artistic process.

Application deadline is on the 5th of January for stays in the period from July – December 2011.

More information on the residency and the application procedure can be found on the SIM website.
