A grassroots public art festival that brings artists and neighbors together to put art on the front lawns, porches, windows, and rooftops in Newburgh, New York.
Terrain Biennial Newburgh is an exhibition of installations by artists and hosted by Newburgh residents and businesses on front yards, porches, windows, and building facades throughout the City of Newburgh, free to all who pass by. Artists and hosts work together to display artworks in everyday spaces where it is most visible and least expected. The 2025 exhibition opens during Newburgh OPEN Studios, September 27 + 28 and runs to November 15.
The Newburgh exhibition is part of Terrain Biennial, a worldwide public art event by Terrain Exhibitions in Oak Park, Illinois. Each neighborhood/town exhibition is self-organized by motivated members of its community. The “superhosts” or facilitators keep in touch with the central Terrain organization yet we organize/curate our hometown exhibition to serve our community. This is the fourth Terrain Biennial Newburgh, growing roots and supporters with each iteration.
