The space
LG exhibition and project space opened on September 12th, 2019 with the idea of being a progressive art and cultural force on the Icelandic art scene located in Hafnarfjordur.
LG is a platform for visual artists who seek to present their works to the public and thus be an active participant in Icelandic contemporary art.
LG emphasizes on visual arts in all media and forms and wants to create a dialogue between Icelandic and foreign artists with the public and art lovers.
LG's strategy is to be an attraction for Hafnfjörður art and cultural life by holding regular exhibition events on an annual basis. The space is run with non profit vision.
