If you have not yet paid your 2016 membership dues, it’s not too late! Please make arrangements soon so that you continue receiving membership benefits.

Member Logo Reciprocity

We want to help make your biennial more recognizable to the public and the global biennial community. To do this, we plan to make changes to the Resources page of our website by modifying the current alphabetical listing to include more easily searchable logos.

But we need your help. To make your biennial, triennial or other contemporary art event more recognizable, please email us a high resolution JPG or AI file of your biennial logo. We’ll get it on the page and link to your website.

We’d also like to see our Institutional members showcase their proud membership on their own websites. Send us an email with your interest, and we’ll send you our logo and 3-line statement.
