The Texas Biennial is a geographically-led, independent survey of contemporary art in Texas. From its founding, the Texas Biennial has explored a variety of exhibition formats and curatorial models. While the survey exhibition curated from an open call for art remains the central feature of the project, since its inaugural exhibition the Biennial has grown to include a range of other exhibitions and programming, all in celebration of contemporary art in Texas. This sixth edition highlighted 33 Texas-based artists.

The Texas Biennial has also embraced collaborations with many partners including other arts organizations, arts foundations, art schools and art publications, as well as numerous artists, art critics, and historians, arts administrators and educators throughout the state.
