Cultural production

Villa Lofoten combines tourism with art- and culture production. We produce films and operate an interdisciplinary guest residency program for artists. We conduct workshops and projects in collaboration with people from home and abroad.

So far, the restoration of our buildings has been our largest project.

Our art productions are based on a dialogue with the environment, rural values and individual knowledge. In this way we contribute to public discussion, freedom of expression and democracy.

Residency

Villa Lofoten AIR invites artists, scientist and artisans to stay in our historic buildings, to work, get inspired and reflect. In their unique ways, they express ideas about the present, the past and the possibilities for the future.
