Introducing the KTX Biennial: Texas' First Public Art Biennial of its Kind Launches Along Dallas' Katy Trail
ABOUT THE KTX BIENNIAL
Held along Dallas' landmark 3.5-mile long Katy Trail, the KTX Biennial is Texas' first biennial of its kind dedicated to public art. Free and open to the public, the Biennial thoughtfully integrates art into the Trail's natural environment, fosters global artistic exchange, and offers new avenues for creative discovery and community engagement across public art installations, educational programs, public activities, panel conversations, and partnerships with local institutions and organizations. The inaugural KTX Biennial is curated by New York-based curator Jovanna Venegas and will open in Spring 2027.
