Get Yo Art On
The 22nd Annual Unglist Young Art Festival
Tjarnarbíó | Nov 8 - 16 | Free!
Like many newly minted 22-year-olds, the Unglist Young Art
Festival is experimenting with bold, uninhibited ideas, with the
potential to make art for a living and telling you to invite mom and
dad, because they will likely be the ones supporting you through
your own bold, uninhibited period of experimenting with the arts.
The festival will showcase design, music, dance, acting, visual art
and poetry by students and independent artists. Pull your flatmate
from his bongos, grab that girl gluing feathers to her shoes and go
interact with your tribe! And to all 22-year-olds out there eating
Yum-Yum noodles on a mattress on the floor, perhaps there will
even be some free snacks… AB
