Dear members,
How many biennials have you visited so far in 2019? Do you have anything you’d like to share about them? Let us know!
We will be having an informal gathering early this month during the opening week of Sharjah Biennial 14 to give members an opportunity to engage with each other. If you are planning to be in Sharjah and would like to be a part of this gathering, be sure to check below for details.
If you are interested in hosting future informal gatherings at your own biennial, do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@biennialassociation.org.
As many biennials will be opening and closing this month, be sure to visit one near you before it’s too late!
