BIENNALE COLLEGE ARTE 2021
La Biennale di Venezia promotes an international open call for artists to complement and enrich the International Art Exhibition (Biennale Arte 2022) with newly commissioned artworks by emerging artists, fully supported by La Biennale di Venezia.
12 artistic projects of young emerging artists under 30 from all over the world will be chosen out of an open call to develop further their projects in a series of workshops focused on training, research and experimentation. The workshop will cover the conception, development, production of specific projects proposed in advance and selected by La Biennale di Venezia.
The programme implies the selection and development of up to 12 projects and, in a second phase, the production of up to 4 artworks to be presented, out of competition, during the 59th International Art Exhibition.
The selection will be made by the Artistic Director of the Art Department of La Biennale di Venezia, whose decision will be final.
The programme includes workshops which will focus on the development of the proposals, on production and budget development.
The Artistic Director of the Art Department of La Biennale di Venezia will select up to 12 proposals and the application must be submitted online exclusively by an artist or a team of maximum 2 artists. There is no participation or registration fee.
