The first Coventry Biennial was delivered by a group of artists and freelancers led by Ryan Hughes in 2017. Following their success, they formed a Not-for-Profit Company to continue delivering contemporary art activities in Coventry and are currently working on biennials for 2019 and 2021.
Coventry Biennial of Contemporary Art celebrates and promotes contemporary art and artists, producing high quality exhibitions and events in one of the UK’s most creative and industrious cities. This biennial festival is deeply connected to Coventry, its histories and wider context, but also retains an outward looking perspective, ensuring that the programme has wider appeal, significance and impact.
The biennial is artist-led, meaning that it was founded by, is owned by and is run by artists and aims to provide meaningful opportunities for practitioners at all stages of their careers, from recent graduates to established artists, with peer-to-peer development opportunities embedded into the programme via artist residencies, internships, workshops and commissions. We seek to attract artists and creatives to the city, to retain recent graduates and to ensure visiting artists are supported in fully engaging with the city and its residents.
