Convening: An Arrival, A Grounding, A Departure

Join us for the major public program of Things Fall Apart, October 16-18, 2026. Organized by exhibiting artists and invited co-curators, the Convening consists of dialogues, performances, meals, and moments of collectivity that engage with six new commissions across three days.

About TBA

The Toronto Biennial of Art’s mission is to make contemporary art accessible to everyone. A twelve-week event every two years, the Biennial commissions artists to create new works for a city-wide exhibition in dialogue with Toronto’s diverse local contexts. Year-round public and learning programs bridge Biennials and invite intergenerational audiences to explore the ideas that inspire our events. Building upon past editions and offering new ways of seeing and listening, each Biennial connects people to spark meaningful dialogues and imagine new futures.
