Biennial of the Americas

Founded in 2010 by civic leaders in Denver, Colorado, the Biennial of the Americas is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization built around the transformational idea that the north-south axis is a valuable and underrecognized source of ideas, art, and culture. The Biennial connects communities across the Western Hemisphere through four strategic pillars:

• Amplify and Embrace Diverse Cultures

• Build City-to-City Connections

• Feature and Promote Rising Leaders

• Create Educational and Cultural Opportunities

We connect communities across the 35 nations of the Western Hemisphere through art, ideas, and cultural programming — and we do it from Denver, Colorado, a city we believe is uniquely positioned to be a global connector.

Through flagship events, international summits, artist residencies, membership experiences, and weekly community programming, we build the relationships and shared understanding that make hemispheric collaboration possible. We are a small, ambitious team that operates with the spirit of a big idea.
