Culture

Promoting Icelandic culture is an importing task of the Consulate General of Iceland in New York. It works closely with the American Scandinavian Foundation and other Icelandic and American cultural institutions. New York is the cultural capital of the world, attracting many talented Icelanders, both to study and to perform their art. The Consulate General also works closely with various cultural institutions in Iceland in promoting cultural events in Iceland.

The Nordic countries, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland, co-operate closely in promoting Nordic culture in New York.

See Event Calendar for cultural events.

The Icelandic Society of New York was founded 6 June 2006. This is a venue for Icelanders and other people interested in Iceland and its culture to get together and meet.  For further information about the Icelandic Society of New York visit www.icelandny.com
