Liverpool Biennial provides 'umbrella' strategic co-ordination to several organisations and exhibition programmes that make up the festival. As a charity and company, Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art Ltd. is responsible for the organisation and financing of three core areas:
The International: the showpiece exhibition, and the critical focus of the event. It aims to be an internationally acclaimed exhibition showing significant new works by international artists commissioned specially for the City of Liverpool.
A Learning and Inclusion Programme delivers Liverpool Biennial's educational objectives through an ongoing programme of activities and the festival programme. The approach is project based with three broadly defined audience groups: communities, formal education and visitors.
The Communications Programme promotes the Liverpool Biennial brand through an umbrella campaign, integrating marketing and public relations. The strategy is informed by the partner organisations delivering the exhibitions, and by regional organisations involved in the promotion of culture.
Our Board Members include: Declan McGonagle (Chair), James Warnock (Vice Chair), Bryan Biggs, Walter Brown, Dr Robert Crawford, Roger Goddard, Alison Jones, Francis McEntegart, Alistair Sunderland and Jane Wentworth.
