Færder Biennale is an international festival of dance and architecture featuring artists from Norway and abroad. Established in 2023, the biennale is now being held for the third time and has quickly gained international recognition.

Founded by Marianne Bilger, Harald K. Foss and Giulio Torracchi, the festival presents high-quality art in unique locations across the Tønsberg region. Its aim is to make art accessible to everyone while contributing to place-making and supporting the local tourism industry.

The programme features site-specific dance performances and temporary architectural installations by artists including Yoann Bourgeois (France), Caroline Laurin-Beaucage (Canada), Wonderground Company (Spain), Mascovei & Wang, and students from the Architectural Association School of Architecture (London) and the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO). Performances and installations take place at distinctive locations in Tønsberg, Tjøme, Hvasser and Brøtsø.

In addition to performances, the festival offers artist talks, workshops and activities for children and young people. Færder Biennale collaborates with regional cultural institutions including Haugar Art Museum, Vestfold Museums, the Færder National Park Visitor Centre, Vestfoldscenen, Papirhuset Theatre and Brøtsøbruddet, as well as international partners in Spain, the UK, the Czech Republic, Canada, Scotland and Switzerland. Supported by a range of public and private partners, Færder Biennale has established itself as an international meeting place for artists, architects and audiences, strengthening Vestfold as a leading destination for art and culture in public spaces.
