PROJECTS, EVENTS & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Artica is very proudly located in Longyearbyen and we believe in using our unique position to engage, support, challenge and promote discussions and thinking about the Arctic in a creative, welcoming and relaxed environment.

In 2022 we hosted four large scale events and a series of adult and children’s workshops, talks, film screenings, an exhibition and book launch plus the monthly coffee club for Longyearbyen’s creative community. Studio visits from researchers at the University of Quebec, University of Chicago, University of Austria and Tideland Studios in Copenhagen. Students from the International Program in Design and Architecture, Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand and art students from Kassel College of Arts in Germany. Curator and artist visits from Toronto (Nordic Bridges commission), Fulbright Arctic Chair and the Arctic Circle residency.
