Located in a timber-frame building constructed in 1907, Skaftfell houses an exhibition space, art library, office, meeting room, guest quarters, and the Skaftfell Bistró. Skaftfell hosts an active artist residency program with both thematic and self-directed residencies. Artists in residence have access to Prentverk Seyðisfjörður, a printmaking workshop operated by a collective of local arts organizations.
