OUR MISSION

The mission of the International ARcTicWeek is to promote the arts and enhance the quality of life in Svalbard through the production of an annual outdoor, multi-disciplinary event in Svalbard.

We believe art has the power to connect communities, cultivate new artistic talent and create a better quality of life for all through cultural enrichment.

Making artist aware of the reality of climate change, see it, but also in contrast with the beauty of Nature/Svalbard.
