Shared Open Plan Studio

Nes artists share an open-plan studio located in the old fish factory. The main area is approximately 19.5 x 11.5 meters and is divided into 10-12 workspaces. It is a fluid space that artists can shape to their individual practices and needs. In December 2025 we completed a major renovation project in the studio that involved deep cleaning and then painting the floors of four rooms with epoxy-based paint.

A small selection of tools are available in the studio supply room, including easels, drills, saws, a jigsaw and basic tools (hammers, pliers and screw drivers), sewing machine. We also store art materials which previous residents have left behind., but suggest artists bring whatever materials they need with them.

The studio also has a kitchen, WC, and small library where you can browse books by past residents. We provide each artists with a worktable, chair, table lamp, and shelving. As the studio is a shared, we ask that artists use low-toxicity materials and avoid strong scents. While the open plan studio at Fjörubraut 8 is our main workspace with 24-hour access, we additionally provide specialized spaces for writers, dancers and sound artists/musicians.

Attached to the studio is the Freezer, a versatile space which can be used daily by residents.
