PATRONS AND PARTNERS

The support of our generous partners and patrons played a vital role in ensuring the Biennale of Sydney presented the best contemporary art in the world, free for all to enjoy. 166 partners, 153 patrons and 188 volunteers supported NIRIN, connecting people with local and international artists through contemporary art, powerful objects and shared creative experiences. A few key examples of collaborative initiatives in NIRIN are: Sovereign Ideas - supported by University of Sydney and presented by Sydney Opera House - was a unique event for school students highlighting the careers of iconoclastic young Indigenous Australian thinkers and leaders. The guide which outlined the 600+ events of NIRIN WIR was distributed nationally with The Saturday Paper, and posters from exhibiting artists were published exclusively in 13 editions. Campari collaborated with artists Eric Bridgeman and Bhenji Ra to create the Galleria Campari — a creative space on Cockatoo Island where visitors could chat about the exhibition over a Negroni or Campari Soda. And, thanks to the virtual exhibition, titled NIRIN: Art from the Edge, audiences from across the globe can experience the 22nd Biennale of Sydney in just a few clicks at g.co/NIRIN on Google Arts & Culture. 29
