What is the Asia Pacific Triennial?
The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art is QAGOMA's flagship exhibition series. Since 1993, the Triennial has drawn more than four million visitors with an ever-evolving mix of exciting and important contemporary art by more than one thousand artists from the region.
The Triennial takes over both QAG and GOMA every three years with an exhibition, film programs, learning initiatives, Children’s Art Centre projects and a dedicated public program of talks and workshops.
The series has seen the Gallery develop long-standing partnerships throughout the region and helped build one of the world's most significant collections of contemporary Asian and Pacific art.
