Biennale of Sydney 2026: 25th edition

14 Mar – 14 Jun 2026 · Biennale · Sydney, AU

The 25th Biennale of Sydney runs March–June 2026 across the city's major contemporary venues. Cockatoo Island remains the spectacle venue; Art Gallery of NSW and MCA Australia anchor the institutional core. Free admission to all venues — the rare large biennale that costs nothing.

Highlights

• All venues free admission — generous by international biennale standards
• Cockatoo Island (ferry from Circular Quay) is the immersive-installation venue
• Pair with Sydney Modern at AGNSW (the 2022 SANAA-designed wing)
• Autumn weather (Mar–Jun is southern-hemisphere autumn) — temperate, planning-friendly
