Dear members,
We hope you all had a wonderful year and an even better start to 2020. With the new decade comes the opening of biennials spanning all over the globe. Though there is no telling what the future holds during these constantly shifting times, we look forward to seeing the evolution of biennials, both familiar and new, and how they continue to influence the environments surrounding them.
Thanks to your continued support, the International Biennial Association (IBA) has stepped into the new year and will continue to grow as a platform to serve the global biennial community while building a network to encourage exchange and connection.
We look forward to another year of biennials and hope to see you at one soon.
