**The Creative Centre is a group-funded non-profit cooperative located in Stöðvarfjörður, a remote village in the East fjords of Iceland.** It was established in 2011 when a group of people acquired the abandoned Fish Factory of the village.

  
The purpose of the multi-disciplinary program is to provide emerging and established artists, creatives, designers and progressive thinkers a port for free expression and a place to meet with other creative people in a small collaborative community. We offer our artists time and space to focus and introspect on their practice on their own terms, but no creative or output-based obligation placed on our participating artists. **If an artist wants to lead a workshop, exhibit their works, hold a concert, or perform or read poetry, we are up for most things.**

  
We offer a shared studio space (95 m2) for eight artists, and the Centre is being transformed into a platform offering many different workshops and facilities where small initiatives can thrive. Our facilities are well-equipped for most basic projects:

  
* **Wood** **Workshop** (95 m²) • Woodturning Lathes, Table Saw, Chop Saw, Band Saw, Fret Saw, Pillar Drill, Thickness planer, Sanding Machines, Routers, Picture Framing Machines & full range of hand tools
* **Metal** **Workshop** (57 m²) • Arc Welder, Metal Turning Lathe, Pillar Drill, Angle Grinders, Dremel & a wide range of hand tools
