Plan - B Art Festival is a well established Art Festival held in the town of Borgarnes which is a town located on a peninsula at the shore of Borgarfjörður in Iceland. Every year Plan-B exhibits works by a contemporary artist wanting to have a conversation between mixed media. From the website “The festival has welcomed more than 100 artists since the beginning, both Icelandic and from abroad. The exhibitions have been held in unconventional spaces both in Borgarnes and in the area surrounding the town. Plan-B is a grassroots festival and our goal from day one was to create a lively and experimental venue, both for a younger and more experienced artist to push the limits of their artistic creations. Try new mediums and challenge themselves with unconventional exhibitions spaces like an old cowshed, a warehouse, an old slaughterhouse and so on and so forth. The result is a great contemporary art festival that has been recognised as a permanent event in the art scene of Iceland.” I’ve been the graphic designer for Plan-B since 2018 and became a board member in 2019. The graphics are inspired by the unique landscape that surrounds the area and reflects the diversity of art that overtakes Borgarnes each year.
