Our story

Arctic Canvas has a special touch, crafted by passionate artists like our founder, Birgit, and her daughter, Hedi. They lead the residency with a love for nurturing creativity and mindfulness. We welcome artists and creatives of all types to come and experience Iceland's natural beauty while working on their craft.

As a cinematographer who splits her time between Iceland and Berlin, Birgit has always been captivated by nature's beauty and power. She wants to share that with creatives from all over the world. Her daughter, a designer living 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!
