The Venice Biennale serves as a global showcase and offers a prominent platform for Irish artists to engage with international audiences, curators and gallerists. It also offers a unique opportunity to stimulate discussion and influence future global trends. This is reflected by the financial support of €390,000 awarded to the selected project.
The 60th International Art Exhibition at Venice, La Biennale di Venezia in 2024 will be curated by Adriano Pedrosa, the overall theme is yet to be announced.
Ireland at Venice (Ireland’s national representation at the Venice Biennale) is an initiative of Culture Ireland in partnership with the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Culture Ireland and the Arts Council are committed to building on Ireland’s growing reputation at previous Art Biennales. Last year’s representation GATHER by Niamh O’Malley with Temple Bar Gallery gained global acclaim and is currently touring nationally.
