Culture strengthens our local character
Five people received cultural grants from the Cultural and Tourist Board of Hafnarfjörður in the Bungalow house at 32 Vesturgata yesterday afternoon. It was a refreshing occasion, and it was clear that the people of Hafnarfjörður have some great entertainment in store.
- Tómas Vigur Magnússon receives a cultural grant of 300,000 for Tones.
- Sara Rut Arnardóttir receives a cultural grant of 200,000.- for Improv Iceland – Hafnarfjörður
- Brynhildur Auðbjargardóttir receives a cultural grant of 500,000.- for The Aldreton School Choir for 60 years

Guðbjörg Oddný Jónsdóttir, chairwoman of the committee, presented the grants and congratulated them all on a quiet and pleasant moment in this historic House of the Bookless Brothers. They operated an extensive fishery from Hafnarfjörður in the first half of the 20th century.
Twice a year, the Cultural and Tourist Affairs Committee of Hafnarfjörður invites applications for grants for cultural activities and the promotion of cultural life in Hafnarfjörður. The aim is to support cultural activities in accordance with the city's cultural policy and to support individuals and organisations in artistic and cultural creation. Artists, associations, institutions or cultural events must be connected to Hafnarfjörður in some way: either through permanent residency, by taking place in Hafnarfjörður, or by involving the promotion of the city's cultural activities.
If you have a good idea, we encourage you to apply for the next round of funding. It is in everyone's interest.
A heartfelt congratulations to all who received a grant.
