The Adelaide Biennial was established in 1990 and is staged every two years by the Art Gallery of South Australia. It is the only major biennial dedicated solely to presenting contemporary Australian art and is a flagship exhibition of the Adelaide Festival of Arts.

The Adelaide Biennial is dedicated to showcasing up-to-the-minute works by Australian artists and has previously been curated by some of this country’s leading curators who work independently of the Gallery on the project.

Since 1990, conceived as part of the Adelaide Festival, the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art has created career-defining opportunities for close to 500 artists, and been experienced by more than one million visitors.
