The formal opening will be held on that day between 17:00 and 19:00, and everyone is most welcome.

The exhibition features new oil paintings by Halldór Árni, painted this year and last, as well as some oil pastel drawings. The subject matter is the town and its surroundings, as Halldór is moving back to the Fjord after living elsewhere for a long time.
