Sharjah Biennial

The Sharjah Biennial is one of the most important international art exhibitions and has enriched the cultural landscape of the UAE over the past two decades. The Sharjah Biennial was originally organized by the Ministry of Culture and Information of Sharjah and later re-organized in 2003 by Hoor Bint Sultan Al Qasimi. In 2009, the Sharjah Biennial became a core initiative of the newly established Sharjah Art Foundation. They organize biennials and are responsible for various resident programs, production grants, commissions, exhibitions, events, research activities, publications, and a growing collection. At first, the biennial followed the classic model of international artists formally representing their participating countries, but now it has more directly turned to individual artists working on works.
