Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023


“Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023” will be held this summer, offering a three-month visual feast across the city, with a wide range of art events, diverse works and creative exchanges. A series of world-class exhibitions will become a great cultural force, turning Macao into a dazzling platform for international art exchange and highlighting the social prosperity propelled by culture.

“Art Macao” has generated a cooperation model among the Government, enterprises, artists and the public to enrich residents’ daily lives and optimise the cultural ecology of Macao with the help of global art resources. After the past two editions, the project has become a new brand of cultural tourism in the form of the “Macao International Art Biennale”. This year, in addition to on-going collaboration with integrated resorts, consulates general of different countries in Hong Kong and Macao, and higher education institutions from mainland China and Macao, there are several special sections for local curators, artists and companies, which will further publicise local creativity and lay a solid foundation for the development of Macao’s cultural and creative industries. It allows residents and tourists to enjoy a feast of art, but also engages them in the diversified development of the industry.

In recent years, the Macao S.A.R. Government has been actively building the city as “a base for exchange and cooperation, where Chinese culture is mainstream and diverse cultures coexist”. Macao as a portal will continue to promote cultural exchanges, actively enhancing the use and transformation of cultural resources, empowering innovation, and facilitating the “culture +” development. To accelerate industrial transformation, the S.A.R. Government has been engaging all walks of life, especially by integrating the strengths and forces of Macao-based integrated resorts. “Art Macao” is a great example of gathering international artists and resources that demonstrate the vitality of the humanities, pushing ahead with the city’s diverse development and its novel “culture +” integration.

I would like to congratulate the curators, artists, and the participating and supportive organisations on the grand opening of “Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023” and express my sincere gratitude to them. I hope that through “Art Macao”, we can unleash the city’s cultural dynamics and innovation to the world. 

I wish the event a resounding success!
