About the foundation
The Biennial Foundation is a non-profit organization established to support and connect the global biennial ecosystem. Founded in 2009 by a group of curators and cultural producers, it serves as a resource for biennial organizers, researchers, and artists, fostering critical dialogue around large-scale periodic exhibitions. Its core mission is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and to advocate for the biennial as a vital format for contemporary art, often highlighting emerging practices and underrepresented regions. Through its open call archives, the Foundation provides a platform for biennials worldwide to announce opportunities, thereby democratizing access to participation in these significant international platforms.

Artists should approach the Biennial Foundation's open call archives as a gateway to opportunities posted by individual biennials. Carefully review each call's specific requirements, deadlines, and thematic focus. Ensure your application materials are tailored to the respective biennial's context and curatorial vision. The Foundation does not accept submissions directly; it is a conduit for information. Thus, direct all inquiries to the organizing biennial. Keep your portfolio updated and concise, and consider the biennial's geographic and conceptual scope when applying.
