The old fish salting house in Skagaströnd has undergone major renovation. Nes is now offering year round residencies and short stays to groups with or without studio space. Artist collectives, university groups, writers retreats, art classes, performance teams and other arts organisations that wish to collaborate on projects or work together on common goals/themes can now apply. We are also offering short stay residencies to single independent working artists who are looking for 2 – 4 week stays and require no studio space. We are now taking applications for 2019.
You can make group application here and single applications here.
