The Biennial of the Americas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Denver, Colorado.
Launched by civic leaders in 2010, the Biennial of the Americas was formed around the transformational idea that the north-south axis is a valuable source of ideas and art. We are empowered by the uniqueness of our home and leverage Denver’s collaborative and innovative environment to seek solutions to the complex problems facing our world. Our hands-on work to connect, create, and inspire yields innovative ideas, authentic dialogue, and collaborative action.
Our Mission
The Biennial of the Americas creates connections, builds community, and inspires change across the Americas. We envision Denver as a global city that fosters collaboration and partnership across borders and Colorado as a state that is deeply connected to the Western Hemisphere.
