LIAF is a festival for contemporary art taking place every second year in Lofoten, a cluster of islands located on the North West Coast of Norway, just above the Arctic Circle.

LIAF presents works by international artists in a local and site-specific context and seeks to be an open, experimental and including meeting place for artists, audience and locals. LIAF acknowledges the complexity of place and seeks to be a discursive, engaged and social platform for different positions creating dialogue between the local and global.

The festival was first initiated in 1991. LIAF is organised by The North Norwegian Art Center (NNKS) and LIAF’s artistic advisory board.
