The story

Larnaca Biennale in Larnaca

The Larnaca Biennale, launched in 2018 by the ARTION Cultural Association, is Cyprus's biggest international contemporary arts event by attendance, drawing more than sixty thousand visitors across a six-week programme of exhibitions, performances and installations spread through multiple venues in Larnaca's city centre. Each edition follows its own curatorial theme, alongside a wider supporting calendar of concerts, dance, theatre, lectures and workshops.

More than sixty thousand visitors and spectators attend the main exhibition and parallel events of the Larnaca Biennale, making it, by that documented attendance figure, the biggest and most popular international contemporary arts event held anywhere in Cyprus, a scale achieved since its first edition launched in 2018 under the organisation of the ARTION Cultural Association of Larnaca.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes the Larnaca Biennale is its documented scale, more than sixty thousand attendees making it Cyprus's largest international contemporary arts event, combined with a genuinely extended six-week format and a multi-venue urban approach integrating art directly into Larnaca's working city streets and public spaces rather than confining it to gallery walls

02

The mystery stays covered

Each edition's distinct curatorial theme gives the Biennale intellectual depth beyond a purely decorative art fair format

03

The city starts moving

Free public access to most venues further distinguishes the Biennale from ticketed international art fairs elsewhere in the region
