Creative Industries

We take pride in our creative industries and arts. In music, film, literature, visual arts, performing arts and design, Iceland is well represented in the international scene. But we want to keep growing, exploring and adding to the extensive list of accomplished artists and creatives. Our vision is to strengthen Icelandic arts and creative industries by making Iceland an attractive option for creative people and companies.
 
Business Iceland supports a wide range of promotion of Icelandic art abroad in collaboration with our embassies and various programs.


Creative in Iceland

A marketing initiative for the creative industry was launched in August 2021, seeking to increase awareness of Icelandic art and creative industries amongst consumers in select international markets. The project aims to boost the export revenue of Iceland's arts and creative industries by developing and incentivizing attractive options for creative people and companies in Iceland.

Record in Iceland

Music is always a product of its environment and it’s not only our local talent that draws inspiration from the awe-inspiring nature on our doorstep but international artists as well. Iceland has a rich music scene and it offers world-class studios, brilliant producers, great session players, and inspiring nature. And if that’s not enough, the Record in Iceland scheme offers a 25% refund of all recording costs.
