Central American Biennial

Founded in 1998

The Central American Biennial has been held since 1998. Promoted by a group of professionals and entrepreneurs from the region, in its nine previous editions, the Biennial followed a model in which each edition was held in one of the Central American capitals, and brought together works by six artists from each one of the countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.

For nearly twenty years, the Biennial has given the region a shared event, bringing together artists and works from the different contexts, promoting a territory of ongoing negotiation between institutions and artistic practices and providing a systematic space for the visibility and legitimation of art from Central America.
