The ecosystems and cultures of the Arctic are beautiful and inspiring \u2013 yet at the same time fragile. We believe that we have a lot to learn from people living in the Arctic, in closer connection to the world around them. That the Arctic is so much more than just an empty, icy landscape \u2013 it is alive, fascinating, full of stories.<\/p>\n
We passionately believe the Arctic is an inspiring place, and we want to share this with you.<\/p>\n
So we put together this festival.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Like a snowball turning into an avalanche, artArctica festival is a small idea grown big: we’re now hosting photography exhibitions, installations, dance and music performances, feature films and short film selections \u2013 and we are lucky to have participants from every corner of the Arctic: Greenland, Canada, Russia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Faroe Islands.<\/p>\n In the final stages of production, we have come a long way \u2013 and now we need your support to ensure we produce a high-quality event, for both artists and audience.<\/p>\n We still need to cover certain travel expenses for the artists, as well as production expenses like printing large-format photographs and securing royalties rights for the films. By supporting this project, you are directly supporting grass-roots art-making in the Arctic.<\/p>\n We are lucky to be supported by cultural foundations and grants, as well as various independent groups and So help us make this festival a beautiful and unforgettable get-together \u2013 and be part of something bigger. Whether you can visit the festival, or live far away, but think this is the kind of thing that is worth happening, you can support us in one way or another.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The festival is partly funded by Kulturkontakt Nord<\/a> and Letterstedtska f\u00f6reningen<\/a>.<\/p>\n It is happening in collaboration with the following organisations:<\/p>\n Global Music Centre (FI) The ecosystems and cultures of the Arctic are beautiful and inspiring \u2013 yet at the same time fragile.
