The Biennale of Sydney is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from experienced curators who are interested in being the Artistic Director of the 24th Biennale of Sydney (2024). 

The Biennale of Sydney is a leading international contemporary art event. It plays an indispensable role in Australia’s engagement with the world, and a meaningful role in the life of the nation. For almost 50 years, the Biennale has been a unifying force in the Australian arts sector, embedding boldly creative art exhibitions and experiences in the everyday life of Sydney and putting the artistic excellence of Australia front and centre on the world stage. 

Since 1973, the Biennale of Sydney has commissioned and presented the works of 1900 artists from all around the world, including 405 Australians in museums and public spaces across Sydney. 

As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2023, we are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic Artistic Director – or Artistic Director team – that can lead the vision of the Biennale in this key moment in our history; someone that embodies our core values of being boldly creative, agile, collaborative and respectful in all that we do, with a commitment to place and keeping people connected through contemporary art and ideas. 

Expressions of Interest must be submitted by 5 pm AEST on Monday, 27 September 2021.
