Several projects are in preparation and will be announced in more detail as we get closer to publications and exhibitions.
On the occasion of the Month of Visual Arts, the artists Andrína Guðrún Jónsdóttir and Guðrún Arndís Tryggvadóttir invite everyone to a celebration at their studios at Mánamörk 3-5 in Hveragerði. The purpose of the Month of Visual Arts is to introduce the work of visual artists to the public, make the profession more accessible and increase the discussion about visual arts in Iceland. Andrína and Guðrún will give guests an insight into what it really means to work in visual arts. The visual arts profession involves both the development of ideas as such as the choice of suitable methods of implementation and finally the communication of the result to the public, because visual art ultimately takes place in the dialogue between the work and the viewer.
The festival will be held on Sunday, October 18th from 12:00 to 18:00.

A new exhibition about the history of the swimming pool in Laugaskarður was opened on June 17, 2026.
The exhibition aims to tell the story briefly, in both Icelandic and English, with photographs and text that has been chosen to frame the story so that both Icelandic and English-speaking visitors can view the exhibition and understand the story in a few minutes.
The exhibition is set up to mark the town's 80th anniversary and will be a permanent exhibition on the lower floor of the swimming pool building. The photographs in the exhibition are by various authors, and the exhibition was designed by Guðrún Arndís Tryggvadóttir.
