The 40th anniversary of Reykjavik Art Festival is from  the 14. May -  6. June. This spring the Festival's program includes over 60 events that represent all artforms.

Icelandic artists display new and unexpected dimensions of their art, often in collaboration with artists from abroad. As has always been the festival's hallmark, international superstars and up-and-coming artists, in addition to leading Icelandic artists, will perform at the festival.
Artists come from all over the world to participate in the festival this year and to name a few Amadou & Mariam from Mali, Norwegian piano soloist Leif Ove Andsnes, Icelander Kristinn Sigmundsson, Oskaras Kor?unovas from Lithuania,  the Spanish/Moroccan band Orquesta Chekara Flamenca, the Finnish electric accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen. And manay more. There are also shows for children at the Festival.

This year the Festival is also characterized by events that bring together more than one artform and erase the conventional borders that separate them.

Ticket prices are kept very reasonable and admissions will range from one thousand ISK to approximately five thousand ISK. Several events will be free of charge.
