Biennale Gherdëina is an art and architecture event located in the unique setting of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites in Italy. 

Celebrating its 10th edition, the event will take place in Ortisei Urtijëi St. Ulrich and the surrounding areas of Val Gardena, Italy, from 29 May to 13 September 2026. 

The event, currently, announced the appointment of Samuel Leuenberger as the Curator of its 10th edition. Samuel Leuenberger is the founder and director of SALTS, a non-profit exhibition space in Birsfelden and Bennwil, Switzerland, which aims to promote interdisciplinary exchange and dialogue with emerging artists.

Through new commissions and an exhibition programme based on environmental projects and public programming, the biennial has organically grown from one edition to the next, gathering the international art world in the locality, whilst maintaining a strong connection to the cultural, historical and linguistic roots of the Alpine region.
