Iceland is a haven for artists all through the year. With draws such as incredible landscapes, lighting, culture and natural phenomena it’s not surprising that it has the highest per capita number of artists and writers in the world.
If, like me you are looking forward to outdoor summer art events and would happily travel to experience the joys festivals bring then perhaps the Summer Art Festival in Akureyri in Iceland is just for you.
Akureyri in north-east Iceland is the largest town outside the capital region and is situated in a spectacular fjord. The location provides the perfect setting to enjoy the contrasts of the bustling town with the tranquillity of the spectacular fjordland. The Summer Art Festival runs from mid-June to the end of August and is ‘crawling with bohemians and art lovers during the festival’. However, if your summer is already planned out then fear not as Iceland is sure to satisfy any hungry artists’ desire throughout the year.
So get out there, explore your creativity, indulge your senses and return feeling inspired and full of wonderful memories.
