The annual Ólavsøka art exhibition in Tórshavn has drawn large crowds this year after relocating from Listaskálin to the municipal building in Steinatún, reports Faroese broadcaster KVF.

Curated by artist Edvard Fuglø, the exhibition features works by around 90 artists displayed across multiple floors of the building. According to Regin Vilhelm, treasurer of the Faroese Art Society, the new venue suits the purpose well, and the artists are satisfied with the conditions.

The exhibition, traditionally held at Listaskálin, was moved this year due to renovations. Visitors have also expressed satisfaction with the display, which includes a wide range of works appealing to all age groups.
