FSC 164

== The Host City ==
The Host city for this FSC #164-edition is Arendal, Norway. It is situated along the southern Norwegian coast in the county of Agder in the region which is called Sørlandet. Arendal has a population of about 45.000 including surrounding villages in the whole municipality.
Arendal is situated 260km south of the capital Oslo, and 65km north of Kristiansand, and the municipality is around 270 square kilometres large. Historically, the village of Arendal was established in the middle of the 16th century, and was then called Arendall. Initially, it had no formal town / city status. Arendal received royal permission in 1622 to continue as a loading-place for timber.
Today the city has small boat manufacturing, mechanical industry, electronics industry, as well as one of the world's largest silicon carbide refining plants. There are also elements of its former established shipping industry. It faces the sea and its small islands of Hisøy and Tromøy make for a beautiful vista. Small ferries travel from the city to the islands regularly for locals & visitors alike.
Arendal has grown from a traditional “sleepy” summer-city/town (with culture activities just in the summer, when lots of tourists visit from other places in Norway, but also from abroad) to a more "all year" city. The building of the new library and the combined City Hall/Concert Hall has greatly improved culture life and there have also been new restaurants, bars and cafes along the sea side.
== The Venue ==
