List og Land

Isjafjörður, Iceland

List og Land at Laugaból Farm in Iceland’s Westfjords region is distinct for extraordinary solitude and beauty.  Residents can draw inspiration from the incredible and inspiring Icelandic natural features surrounding  the residency: ancient volcanos, waterfalls, rivers, mountains, valleys and the sea.  It is possible to hike for hours without leaving the property.  Thousand-year-old stone ruins can be found on a five minute walk from the farmhouse.  It is not uncommon for residents to be visited by whales, seals, arctic foxes, huldufólk, and swans.  List og Land is an international residency open to all. We believe that artists and writers thrive at the intersection of nature and community. We consider interactions with nature and one another to be the raw and sacred material for creative work.
