Join the Liverpool Biennial Associate Artists at Bluecoat for a unique ‘speed meeting’ experience. Throughout the evening, you can talk to ten artists based in the North of England and find out more about their work in an informal setting, in which each artist will present their practice to small audience groups.

The Liverpool Biennial Associate Artists Programme is a major new initiative by Liverpool Biennial, in partnership with Independent Curators International (ICI) and Cactus Gallery, which supports artists based in the North of England to develop their careers internationally. Artists are increasingly able to build sustainable careers outside London if they have the opportunity to strengthen their networks and markets beyond the UK. Liverpool Biennial and its partners are working with ten artists to provide a unique opportunity to work with leading international figures in the art world and to showcase their work in Liverpool Biennial 2016.
