“From the tip of the Tierra del Fuego to the Northern Hudson Bay, we will bring together and showcase the best contemporary artists of all the Americas in what will become one of the major art celebrations in this part of the world.” - Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper
What It Is
The Denver Biennial of the Americas will be a citywide, international cultural event.
It will include exhibitions, public programs and signature art installations that celebrate the power of ingenuity and the imagination of the Western Hemisphere.
Once every two years, some of the world's greatest innovators will convene in Denver, tap into a dynamic local community of creative thinkers, and together galvanize a citizen-driven movement toward
cross-cultural understanding and global cooperation.
Why Denver
Denver has always been a city of innovation and a frontier for bold ideas.
The city’s universities and businesses are home to cutting-edge thinking and research. Its thriving, internationally acclaimed cultural institutions invigorate the life of the city. Denver's central location at the heart of the Pacific Cordillera mountain ranges intrinsically links the city to partners in Central, North and South America and shapes the fabric of our community.
A major cultural event every two years will allow Denver to harness its unique creative and intellectual capital and join forces with global thinkers to draw the world's attention to problems of universal relevance.
The Denver Biennial of the Americas provides a platform to showcase Denver's ingenuity and extend its impact beyond our local community to a broader global audience, creating an impetus for large-scale participation and a movement to translate ideas into action.
