Fundación Bienal Internacional de Arte BIACS

Profil

The Foundation for the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Seville was incorporated on 22 May 2003 for the purpose of directing, organising and producing the BIACS.  The 28 founding members of this private, not-for-profit entity were willing and able to provide the necessary impetus for the realisation of the first edition; these founders made every effort to land the Biennial in the cultural limelight, thus guaranteeing its continuity and international relevance.  This step represented a milestone in the history of Andalusia: for the first time, a private initiative of citizens and society decided to promote and realise a project of these characteristics and dimensions on an international level. 

The BIACS Foundation has received ample support from the principal Public Institutions at the local, regional and national levels, acting as Benefactors and Patrons, as well as from a wide variety of Andalusian and Spanish businesses and professionals who contribute to the creation of the event as Sponsors, Patrons and Benefactors.
