About the Icelandic Visual Arts Fund

The Icelandic Visual Arts Fund was established in 2013. The role of the Fund is to financially support Icelandic visual art as well as other related tasks.

The Visual Arts Council is responsible for the operational and financial administration of the Visual Arts Fund. The council and fund operate under the Visual Arts Act and regulations set by the minister. Althingi decides in the annual Budget Act on an appropriation for the fund.

Application rounds are twice a year. Assessment committees evaluate the applications and make recommendations for the Visual Arts Council.
