LungA Art Festival

LungA Art Festival is an annual art and music festival held in Seyðisfjörður, East Iceland in mid-July. The festival was founded in 2000[1] and is organized as a week of workshops, lectures and other activities, ending with a weekend of exhibitions and concerts.

In 2013 the festival sparked the creation of the LungA School, an art school and "independent, artist led institution".[2]
