Contour Biennale exists because artists, cultural workers and audiences built it together. This edition is possible thanks to the support of our public funders and partners.

To complete the final part of the funding and fully realise the biennale, we are now counting on our community. Would you like to help secure its future? You can do so by purchasing a Support Ticket here.

With a Support Ticket, you gain access to The Eyes of the Heart and the Soul of the World (5 September – 1 November 2026) and make an additional contribution that helps secure the future and strengthen the impact of Contour Biennale as an international platform for artists, curators and audiences.

Ways to Support

We offer several tiers to acknowledge different capacities and to keep the community open to everyone:

● Buy a €25 Support Ticket: Purchase your biennale ticket in advance, and have the option of adding your name to our public list of supporters.

● Buy a €75 Support Pack: Ideal if you want to support more generously and bring your friends along. You receive four advance tickets and have the option of adding up to four names to our public list of supporters.

● Buy a €250 Friend With Benefits Pack: Purchase two advance tickets, get a special mention in our list of supporters and join a pre-opening tour with curator Sofia Lemos together with a guest.

You’re welcome to purchase as many tickets as you like. A standard ticket at the door will cost €14.
