Featuring the latest works of art by leading contemporary artists from all corners of the country, the Adelaide Biennial is defined by experimentation and innovation, and is known for its role in accelerating the careers and profiles of Australian artists.

25th Biennale of Sydney
Biennale of Sydney CEO Barbara Moore shared her excitement:
“We are proud to return to White Bay Power Station in 2026 for the 25th Biennale of Sydney, in one of the city’s most exciting new creative precincts. The Biennale has always been a platform for bold artistic expression and meaningful cultural exchange, and we can’t wait to share more soon.”
25th edition Artistic Director Hoor Al Qasimi echoed this excitement, saying:
“The Biennale of Sydney has long been a space for artists to share their stories and challenge perceptions. Bruce Johnson McLean’s appointment as First Nations Curatorial Fellow is an important step in shaping an edition deeply rooted in connection, and the transformative power of art.”
