Canadian Artists in Venice Exhibition Fund

La Biennale di Venezia is the oldest and most important curated contemporary art event in the world – a place where art, ideas, museums, markets and international diplomacy intersect. With international visitor attendance levels of well over half a million per season, this prestigious event offers Canadian artists unparalleled exposure to the world’s top contemporary curators, collectors, dealers, arts writers, influencers and other artists.

The Venice Biennale is the only international visual arts exhibition to which Canada sends official representation. Artists showing at the Biennale raise their global profile and, by association, that of Canada and Canadian artists.

There are two ways to support Canadian artists in Venice:

  • Canadian Artists in Venice Endowment – established to provide long-term financial stability to Canadian representation at the Venice Biennale

  • Canadian Artists in Venice Exhibition Fund – raises funds to support the specific artists chosen to represent Canada in the Canada Pavilion at the Biennale

Your gift ensures that Canada’s artists have opportunities at the highest level to share their work on a global stage. Capital naming opportunities at the National Gallery of Canada are available in recognition of major gifts to these initiatives.

The exhibitions on view at the Canada Pavilion are commissioned by the National Gallery of Canada and are produced in partnership with the Canada Council for the Arts.

The Canadian representation at the Venice Biennale is made possible through the Canadian Artists in Venice Endowment.
