BID23ART - FOURTH EDITION OF BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S EXHIBITION

"Respirare con il mondo / Breathing with the World"

BID23ART is promoted and managed by the International Women's Biennial Association APS, which reserves the right to rule on any matter related to the Biennial exhibition and its open call to artists, those governed and not by these entry requirements. The Association BID (Biennale Internazionale Donna) is the organizer of BID23ART to take place from mid-October to mid-December 2023 at Magazzino 26 in Trieste, Italy.
BIENNALE INTERNAZIONALE DONNA — BID (INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL OF WOMEN) is a non-profit Association, founded in 2017 to champion women artists locally, nationally and internationally through the organization of an art Biennial dedicated to the work of talented women working today and based on an open call for artists. The primary ambition of BID is to contribute to the visibility of contemporary women artists (with no limitations on medium, age or country) who distinguish themselves in the field of visual arts by the quality of their work. Since its creation, BIDART has worked to make contemporary women artists visible by exhibiting, producing and posting content about their work; and producing an illustrated catalogue of each year’s BIDART Biennial.

The exhibition takes place in the magnificent, restored industrial warehouse building Magazzino 26 in the Old Port of Trieste, Italy. Designed by Paul Talabot and built between 1868 and 1883, the Old Port was aimed at consolidating the role of Trieste as a trading centre for the territories under the Austro-Hungarian rule but was largely abandoned beginning in the 1960's. In recent years, the Port of Trieste and the City have been working to breathe new life into the old port.
