b-side returns in 2012 with a double helping of intriguing events and installations, intended to delight and provoke in equal measures. The two main courses of this year’s festival are served in Weymouth during the Olympic Sailing Events (27 July – 12 August) and on Portland during the Paralympics (29 August - 9 September).

Explore the ‘flipside’ of the coast, aided and abetted by leading national and international artists working on a series of new b-side commissions in visual art, digital media, performance and film.

 
So what can you expect?

Underwater performances, alternative ‘misguided’ tours, telepathic drawing experiments, new musical compositions, an international film programme and interactive signage to name but a few. Venues include pubs, churches, swimming pools, car parks and the amazing ICCI 360 Arena.
