Liverpool Biennial

About

Liverpool Biennial is a visual arts organisation and a platform for commissioning and presenting ground-breaking and powerful contemporary art

The organisation has been transforming the city of Liverpool through public art commissions, community projects, and a legacy of Biennial exhibitions for over two decades. Since being formed in 1998 we have commissioned 380 artworks, presented work by over 560 leading artists, delivered 34 collaborative neighbourhood projects, and received over 49 million visits. 

Our festival programme is a must-see, heavily anticipated international event which transforms the city of Liverpool into a dynamic arena in which to experience the very best contemporary visual art. The scale of our 15-week programme is the largest concentration of international and national contemporary art in the UK, positioning the organisation as one of the top and most visible biennials in the world.
