The biennial commissions leading and emerging artists to make and present permanent and temporary public artworks, as well as long-term community-based projects. These newly commissioned and existing artworks and projects are presented in diverse locations, including unusual public spaces as well as the city’s galleries, museums, and cultural venues. Cultural organisations in Liverpool provide context for the presentation of contemporary art and culture. Since its launch in 1999, the Liverpool Biennial has commissioned over 200 new artworks. Nine hundred artists participate in each festival and its fringe. On average, the biennial attracts over 600,000 visitors over 10 weeks. ==History== The Liverpool Biennial was established by James Moores (with Jane Rankin Read, Lewis Biggs and Bryan Biggs) in 1998 and has presented festivals in 1999, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 (as part of Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture), 2010, and 2012. As of 2012, Sally Tallant is the Artistic Director and CEO.
