2026: Marking Ten Years of Artica Svalbard

2026 marks the 10th anniversary of Artica Svalbard.

Founded in November 2016, Artica Svalbard was established with a clear vision: to use art and culture to raise awareness of the Arctic’s unique challenges, share knowledge, and inspire change.

Over the past decade, Artica has supported artists, writers, and researchers from around the world, creating space for reflection, dialogue, and long-term engagement with the Arctic.

Throughout 2026, we will mark this milestone with a curated anniversary programme, including screenings of alumni work, a special edition of Artica Writings, Lantern Lectures, and a celebratory book launch weekend.

Further details will be announced as plans develop. Join us as we reflect on the past ten years and look ahead to the next chapter.
