Canberra Art Biennial

Various venues

Canberra Art Biennial is a biennial contemporary public art festival that engages the stories and aesthetics of Canberra's designed landscape through site-specific artworks and events. The festival champions diverse and accessible approaches to public art, presenting commissioned artworks by leading Australian and international artists as well as promising emerging artists, many of whom are creating public art or working with new media, scales and sites for the first time. Founded by Dr Neil Hobbs, the festival was born from Neil's research into how temporary public art interventions transform space. Now, the festival invites artists to bring their ideas into dialogue with the capital's designed landscape, presenting free contemporary art in the places we gather day-to-day. The 6th edition of the Canberra Art Biennial features newly commissioned artworks, along with exhibitions and re-stagings of preexisting artworks, from over 50 Australian and international artists and curators. Explore the program over 7 weeks, across 20 festival sites. Canberra Art Biennial acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which their festival operates, the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. They pay their respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
