MYNDLISTASKÓLINN Í REYKJAVÍK / THE REYKJAVIK SCHOOL OF VISUAL ART, founded by artists in 1947, is an independent non-profit organization. It offers visual studies on many levels: an after school programme for children and young people, a full year foundation course for visual studies and three departments on fourth/academic level – in drawing, textiles and sculpting. This diversity makes the school unique, with a very broad age range in the student-group (three to eighty-three!) and an atmosphere of flow and exchange between departments. Students on higher levels get inspired by the works of the younger students and vice versa. Many teachers teach at all levels and all teachers are professional artists, architects and designers.
