Overview

Enjoy a biennial festival of contemporary art in Canberra. Artworks are exhibited externally in the Canberra landscapes around Lake Burley Griffin, the National Arboretum Canberra, and the city. Keep an eye out for works in collaboration with Commonwealth and Territory cultural facilities and private/temporary gallery spaces.

The festival extends across 4 weeks in spring. 2024 will be the fifth iteration of the festival, which began as Contour 556, on a smaller footprint specifically around Lake Burley Griffin.
