About the Limburg Biënnale
With great pleasure, Marres and Odapark present the fourth edition of the Limburg Biënnale, an exhibition that offers a cross-section of visual art in Limburg and its surroundings.

Marres and Odapark once again launched an open call for Limburg’s most popular exhibition, open to everyone who feels like an artist. Following a careful selection process, the jury selected 350 works from more than 2,500 submissions. Everyone has now been notified, perhaps your work is among the selected pieces! Next up are the submission days on 5 & 6 June, 2026.
Keep an eye on the socials of Odapark and Marres, as on the 27th of every month we’ll be sharing more details about the upcoming Limburg Biënnale.
