Exhibitions Hamraborg Festival 2026

28.08 - 4.09.2026

Hamraborg Festival is an annual, vibrant, week-long celebration of art and community in the heart of Kópavogur. This year's festival is the 6th edition, and will run from August 28th to September 4th, marking the end of summer with a program of exhibitions, performances, workshops, concerts and public events open to everyone, free of charge.

Each year, art spills from almost every corner of the neighborhood, inviting residents and visitors alike to explore and celebrate art in all its forms. One might stumble upon artworks while running errands such as picking up groceries, or choose to experience the full program by following the festival map. Hamraborg Festival is built in close collaboration with the local community, with many works responding to the architecture, history, and everyday life of the Hamraborg area. Over the years, art has spread throughout Hamraborg’s cultural venues, shop windows, cafés, offices, and public spaces, such as Catalina, Gerðarsafn, EuroMarket, Polo Vape Shop, Kópavogur Library, and others.

Dreaming is a way of imagining things beyond what we see around us. It can help us remember forgotten memories and imagine possible futures. Dreams can bring clarity, questions, and new ideas. Through the practice of dreaming, we are able to nurture the feelings of kinship, grief, wonder and sustain connections to other people and the environments around us. For the 6th edition of Hamraborg Festival, we invite artists, neighbors, and curious wanderers to partake in a collective dream that grows through imagination, wanders and ebbs freely in all directions.

All exhibitions open on Friday, August 28 at 5pm and remain open during each location’s regular opening hours until September 4.
