The Gullkistan residency is located in a quiet village by the Laugarvatn Lake with a view of the Hekla volcano.

The main objective of Gullkistan is to provide a home and workspace for creative people of all professions in an international community. Surrounded by the sublime nature of south Iceland where they can work on their ideas and become a part of Icelandic culture locally and in a wider spectrum as each one of them prefers.

Artists often take part in local community activities and occasionally they finish their stay with a public event sharing their work and experience.
