The Bonavista Biennale is an innovative, rural-based, public art event occurring every two years on Newfoundland’s Bonavista Peninsula.  It provides a unique platform for artists and audiences to explore, exchange and challenge different ideas and perspectives. The Biennale includes strong representation of artists from Newfoundland and Labrador, grounding the exhibition in this place while creating thoughtful dialogue with artists from across Canada and beyond. The Biennale features emerging and established artists, working in all types of media. Installations and events take place in unconventional outdoor and indoor locations across the Peninsula, embedding contemporary art in the historic spaces and daily places of rural communities. Biennale visitors experience artworks alongside the complex and compelling histories, economies, geological features, and environments that shape the Bonavista Peninsula.
