La Biennale de Montréal

The Biennale de Montréal (BNL MTL) was launched in 1998 by the Centre international d’art contemporain de Montréal (CIAC), which produced the first seven editions of this international contemporary art event.

In 2013, La Biennale de Montréal became an independent non-profit organisation dedicated primarily to producing the biennial event BNLMTL. With this in mind, the new organisation promptly formed an innovative strategic partnership with the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MACM), which itself had presented two highly successful editions of the Québec Triennial.

In its current form, BNLMTL thus incorporates the two previous exhibitions into one major event that can now take advantage of the complementary skills and resources of two prominent Montréal institutions, La Biennale de Montréal and the MACM, in addition to those of its many other contributors.
