Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art

The Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art is a contemporary art exhibition which has been held at various locations in Alberta, Canada, every two years from 1996 to 2012, then on a two or three year basis since then. Its purpose is "to foster a dialogue between artists and communities across the province."[1]

Two artists withdrew from the planned show in 2020 due to the complete exclusion of Black artists throughout the biennial's history.[2]
