Art exhibition: BARA BARA PAPPÍR

We invite you to experience “Bara Bara Pappír” – an exhibition featuring watercolours, prints, drawings, photographs, and a little something for the tastebuds. All artworks are for sale.

Minister Eirikur í Jákupsstovu will officially open the exhibition, and Petra Iversen will perform.

The artists will be present on Ólavsøka Eve.
