Biennale of Sydney

Logo for Biennale of Sydney

The Biennale of Sydney is the largest international festival of contemporary art, held every two years in Sydney. Alongside the Venice and São Paulo biennales and Documenta, it is one of the longest running exhibitions of its kind and was the first biennale to be established in the Asia-Pacific region. Since its inception in 1973, the Biennale has delivered 20 major exhibitions, which have featured more than 1,800 artists from over 80 countries. Most Biennale programs are presented free to the public, with visitation regularly reaching over 600,000 per exhibition. The Biennale of Sydney values the individual worth, uniqueness and diversity of all people. We seek to remove barriers to participation in our volunteer program that will enable all people to meet their full potential, and experience meaningful involvement with the Biennale.
