Two weeks before the opening of the Normandy Impressionist Festival, the festival reveals the six new posters that will accompany the 2026 edition throughout Normandy.
Conceived as a series, this new visual campaign reflects the theme of this 6th edition, entitled "A Possible Garden." Through luminous compositions and plays on textures and colors, these posters convey the main themes of a program that explores the relationship between nature and artifice, landscape and contemporary creation.
This year, major international figures such as Ai Weiwei, Fujiko Nakaya, Cai Guo-Qiang, Mika Ninagawa and Daniel Buren are engaging in dialogue with the Normandy landscapes and the legacy of Claude Monet.
Like this program, the six posters unveiled today offer a first glimpse of the festival's visual universe: an invitation to explore Normandy to the rhythm of contemporary artistic works, landscapes and experiments.
Deployed progressively throughout the region and on the festival's digital platforms, they will be the ambassadors of an edition that positions the Normandy region as a vibrant artistic place, open and accessible to all.
