The Creative Folkestone Triennial is an arts festival held every three years in Folkestone, Kent, England.[2]
Site-specific artworks are commissioned for what are often unusual locations around the town, a number of works remaining in place permanently after the end of each festival as part of the permanent Creative Folkestone Artworks exhibition.[3][4] The 2021 Triennial will be the first to break the usual three-year cycle following a postponement from its original 2020 dates due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
Artists who have exhibited at the Triennial include Lubaina Himid, Tracy Emin, Cornelia Parker, Martin Creed, Myles Stephens, Emma Hart, Sir Anthony Gormley, Andy Goldsworthy and Bob and Roberta Smith.[6][7] During 2014, graffiti artist Banksy contributed Art Buff to the town, announcing that it was "Part of the Folkestone triennial. Kind of."[8]
The Folkestone Triennial was curated by Andrea Schlieker in 2008 and 2011,[9] and Lewis Biggs in 2014, 2017 and 2021.[9]
