Art Macao 2025, the Macao International Art Biennale, will run from July to October 2025, featuring nearly 30 exhibitions across six sections. Chief curator Feng Boyi has themed the Main Exhibition around the everyday question "Hey, what brings you here?", showcasing nearly 80 works by 46 artists from 13 countries at the Macao Museum of Art. The event is organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and co-organized by major casino-resort operators including Galaxy Entertainment Group, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, MGM, Sands China Ltd., SJM Resorts, and Wynn Resorts Macau.
The biennale matters because it transforms Macao into a "city of Muses," blending global contemporary art with local history and community spaces. By engaging philosophical questions about identity and place, the event reinforces Macao's cultural tourism brand and supports its development toward becoming a "One Centre" and "One Base" for culture. The inclusion of public art and citywide exhibitions ensures art reaches beyond traditional venues, fostering mutual cultural exchange and revitalizing historical spaces.
