Liverpool Biennial is best known as the promoter and organiser of the UK's international festival of contemporary art every second year. But we also have an ongoing role commissioning art for the public realm, such as Richard Wilson's Turning the Place Over and Antony Gormley's Another Place at Crosby Beach, and delivering our educational objectives through a programme of activities in partnership.

Liverpool Biennial 2010 is bigger than ever before and includes the following six programmes:

The sixth edition of Liverpool Biennial's International Exhibition is Touched - Consisting of around 40 new projects by leading and emerging international artists. Principally new commissions as well as several key works previously unseen in the UK , Touched will be presented across multiple venues: Tate Liverpool, the Bluecoat, FACT (Foundation for Art & Creative Technology), A Foundation and Open Eye Gallery, with half the exhibition sited in public spaces across the city.

Bloomberg New Contemporaries -- the very best from up-and-coming artists' studios throughout the UK presented at A Foundation, Greenland Street.

City States -- International exhibitions on the cultural dynamics between cities and states, presented at Contemporary Urban Centre.

John Moores Painting Prize 2010-- the UK's leading contemporary painting competition, presented at the Walker Art Gallery.

No Longer Empty and The Art Organisation (TAO) - re-animating of abandoned premises through art, presented around the city centre.

The Co-operative - a collaboration between the leading artist-led studios (Arena, Red Wire, The Royal Standard) and cultural agency, Mercy.
