Art Jobs

In 1991 the foundation meeting of the Gil Society / Gilfélagið was held, marking the real beginning of the construction of an Art Centre in Grófargil which is now the focal point of culture in Akureyri. The Gil Society runs an artist residency and Deiglan where there are organized art exhibitions, music and other happenings connected with the diverse and ambitious cultural life of the townspeople of Akureyri. Properties in Grófargil were previously used for various kinds of industries under the auspices of the Eyjafjörður Co-operative Society (KEA).
