Liverpool

Liverpool Biennial is the UK’s largest free festival of contemporary art and 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 392 artworks, presented work by over 560 leading artists, delivered 34 collaborative neighbourhood projects, and received over 50 million visits. 

Our free festival programme is a must-see, highly 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 14-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, with each edition engaging 100,000–160,000 visitors.

Liverpool Biennial limited editions present an opportunity to own a work by a leading contemporary artist who has worked with us. The sale of each edition directly supports Liverpool Biennial’s new commissions, exhibitions, talks and education programmes.
