Initially led by the artisic group KILEN, the Luleå Biennial was taken over by Folkrörelsernas Konstfrämjande (The People’s Movement for Art Promotion) in 2018, with the aim to create a recurring art event which spread throughout all of Norrbotten – the northernmost region of Sweden. Since 2021, Konstfrämjandet Norrbotten, a district organization within Folkrörelsernas Konstfrämjande based in Norrbotten, is the head organizer of the biennial.
