We cooperate with exhibition spaces and galleries in Venice, and utilize these spaces for international art and cultural events.
We offer fully and partially covered residency programs in cooperation with ScalaMata & La Storta exhibition spaces in the Old Ghetto of Venice.
V.C. cooperates amongst others, with Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Detournement – Collateral event of the Venice Biennale and the department for Youth and peace of the city of Venice.
Residencies
The Venezia Contemporanea Artists/Authors residency 2021 has ended. We gave out 37 fully and partially supported residencies. Due to the uncertainty caused by COVID we were not able to secure funds and therefore we cannot offer supported residency programs in 2022. However, we continue to offer Partially sponsored residency with optional working studio and exhibition space at the La Storta Exhibition Space
The 59th Venice Art Biennale will take place from 23 April to 27 November 2022 (pre-opening on 20, 21 and 22 April).
We at Venezia Contemporanea make our best to continue supporting artists by tailoring personal programs and to meet the needs and expectations of artists within our possibilities.
