Lantern Lecture: Creeping risks of the Arctic: How Svalbard Science can help us to see, understand and adapt
Is the Arctic a sensor of physical, chemical and biological risks for the Earth? Svalbard is an unique location to create understanding of the on-going processes.
Art Club
Join us this dark season for Art Club—an open, welcoming space to make, share, and get inspired. Bring along your own arts or crafts projects to work on, or try out one of the materials and activities available, such as watercolour, drawing, or collage.
First Friday Coffee Club
Are you interested in meeting Longyearbyen’s creative community? Join us for the last First Friday Coffee Club of the year! We’ll celebrate the season with festive treats, good company, and inspiring conversation.
Concert & lecture: Violin Stories
Artica Svalbard and the Arctic Chamber Music Festival invite you to an after-work concert and lecture exploring the violin’s evolving voice. From early traditions to contemporary expressions, we trace how the violin and its music have transformed across time. Live performances illuminate these shifts, while Artica resident Clara Arnaud threads in a story about change, perspective, and the ever-shifting realities of Svalbard.
