Arctic Canvas was founded by artists Birgit and her daughter Hedi, who lead the residency with a deep commitment to creativity and mindfulness.

​

We welcome artists and creatives of all kinds to experience Iceland’s natural beauty while developing their work.

​

As a cinematographer splitting her time between Iceland and Berlin, Birgit has always been captivated by nature's beauty and power, which she seeks to share with creatives from around the world.

Her daughter Hedi, a designer with a background in cultural management and based in London, has joined her to create a multicultural and inviting community.

​

Our decade-long dream has finally come true: we can’t wait to welcome anyone who shares our passion for inspiring the world through creativity.
