The space
LG is a platform for visual artists who seek to communicate their artistic creations to the public and thus be an active participant in Icelandic contemporary art. We emphasize on visual art in all media and forms and want to create a conversation between Icelandic and foreign artists with the public and art lovers. Our aim is to be an attraction for the art- and culturelife for Hafnarfjordur by holding regular exhibition events. The space is run on a non-profit basis.
