BIEN Textile Art Biennial 2025

Exhibition of contemporary textile art in Nova Gorica, Idrija, Kranj, Jesenice and Škofja Loka.

Textile Art Biennial BIEN shapes new contemporary expressions of textile art and design, and encourages interdisciplinary artistic collaboration. The exhibitions feature works by international and Slovenian artists, with a special emphasis on the best current domestic and international student productions. The biennial program focuses on various audiences and explores the effects of textile creation with them.

On 20 June, BIEN 2025 is coming to Nova Gorica, and on 21 June, it will arrive to Gorizia.

The exhibition is part of GO! 2025 official programme.
