Andreas Kaiser, David Snoo Wilson and Annie Abdallah leave for home in Germany, UK and Canada. We thank all of them for staying with us.

Hlín Agnarsdóttir is leaving for Reykjavík after 4 months at Gullkistan! She connected everything together - because she needed nothing else…
Takk Hlín!

For the next few months there will be some renovation work on the farm but meanwhile the studio is available and the apartments in Laugarvatn. See more photos here

These artists are with us now; Annie Abdalla from Canada, Andreas Kaiser from Germany, David Snoo Wilson from UK and Hlín Agnarsdóttir from Iceland. We hope they are all enjoying the good weather.

We openend an outdoor exhibition with six prints of paintings by Þórarinn B. Þorláksson who loved Laugarvatn so much.

In the afternoon 20 very interested students from 6 to 81 years old played with watercolours.

At 5 oclock we celebrated the opening of Raom&Loba’s exhibition Land Scape Ing. They gave us a glimpse of their work, 3 dimensional photos, their storytelling, landscape in Argentina and their future plans.

Next year they will have photos from Iceland in an exhibition in Buenos Aires.

Yesterday Annika Bergvik-Forsander, Heidi Naumanen and Laura Ruotsalanien from Finland arrived with their wonderful families, total 8 people. Today Fie Tanderup, from Denmark and Bodil Steinsund from Norway arrived together with husband and friend, total 4 people. So all together there are 13 guests staying at Gullkistan with the Icelandic writher Hlín Agnarsdóttir. That’s so wonderful. When arriving at Laugarvatn the rainbow and the clouds around Hekla and the steam from Eyjafjallajökull did there best to look impressive for our guests.

Kendra Bulgrin and Jimmy Eddings had an open studio today. They made an installation in an old house by the river Djúpá and showed paintings in the studio.
