Every two years, the Biennial of the Americas Festival comes to Denver. The week-long event celebrates ideas, art, and culture that connects and brings our community together. The festival takes place September 12-16.
Some of the most incredible and inspiring leaders, innovators, and experts from the Denver metro area and beyond will come together September 12-16 to discuss and connect around the most pressing issues our society faces today. This huge gathering will feature leaders from more than 20 countries around the North, South and Central Americas. The festival was first established by Governor John Hickenlooper in 2011, and now, the Biennial is getting ready to head into its fourth year. This year's event promises to include groundbreaking art, engaging conversations, live music, and much more.
Art is a massive part of the festival, with four main exhibits to be featured this year. You can view all of the information about the exhibits here.
