Purpose: As is the tradition of long-standing biennial exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale in Italy and Whitney Biennial in New York City, the Rogue Valley Biennial will present the "art of our time". 

• Work that is innovative, showcasing contemporary visual artists, both emerging and established. 
• Work that includes subject matter, processes, and materials that reflect 21st century perspectives and concerns. 
• The work included in the exhibit may contain politically and socially relevant content, be provocative in subject matter and imagery, and challenge viewer's aesthetic perceptions.
