Cali is set to host the International Graphic Arts Biennial from September 29 to October 19, 2026. This event, which will showcase urban graphics, media arts, design, and visual arts, aims to strengthen the city's presence on the international graphic arts scene. The biennial will run for 50 days and is open to the public with free admission.
The 2026 edition of the International Graphic Arts Biennial marks a revival of a tradition that dates back to 1971, when Museo La Tertulia in Cali first hosted the American Graphic Arts Biennial. Over the years, the event had five editions through 1986, bringing together artists from various countries across the Americas. With a focus on how graphic arts have evolved, the biennial seeks to connect traditional techniques with contemporary forms of expression and technology.
One of the central features of the event will be the range of artistic forms represented, encompassing disciplines such as printmaking, screen printing, digital art, and installations. The program, curated by Agenda Viva, will also include performance-related works, pushing the boundaries of graphic arts as a printed medium and engaging audiences directly. Artists from more than 25 countries, including strong representation from Latin America and Europe, will participate in the event.
