The Biennial Society is a Chicago Architecture Biennial affinity group of architecture and design enthusiasts, collectors and civic leaders who share an interest in the intersection of civics, arts, culture and architecture.
Through the Biennial Society, members further the mission of the Chicago Architecture Biennial and ensure its place as a Chicago institution. The group generates awareness during both the Biennial exhibition years and the “off” year planning periods, providing ongoing support to the Biennial’s unique promise to further connect Chicago to the world.
Members of the Biennial Society enjoy exclusive, members-only access, experiences and events with artists, architects, designers, curators and cultural leaders. Member benefits are designed to reflect the dynamic issues connecting Chicago to creativity, innovation and contemporary global concerns in the built environment.
We invite you to join the Biennial Society and become a part the Chicago Architecture Biennial’s future while sharing in exciting and meaningful programs of interest.
