Biennale 2026

We are delighted to finally announce and share the 20 exhibition projects that Art Events presents on the occasion of the 61st edition of the Biennale di Venezia.

A system of interventions that spans National Pavilions, Collateral Events, institutional collaborations, and special initiatives—building a constellation of contemporary visions interwoven with the living fabric of Venice.

Paola Momentè is the Venetian artist and illustrator who developed an illustrated project for Art Events, in dialogue with the Biennale 2026 curatorial theme, In Minor Keys, through which we present our program of projects.
