Venice Fellowship 2024

We are delighted to launch our Venice Fellowship 2024 programme partners open call. Our fellowship partners are absolutely central to supporting emerging creatives and future talents. We welcome both returning and new partners each year. Partners recruit and identify the best candidates from your organisation to participate in a one-month residency during the 60th International Art Exhibition – one of the world’s most important art biennales.

Further details of the Venice Fellowship, our partnership structure and agreement, roles and commitment, timeline, costs, logistics and vision, can be found at the end of our opportunity webpage: https://venicebiennale.britishcouncil.org/open-call-2024-uk-programme-partners.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch. We also hope you will consider joining us for one of our orientation and question-and-answer drop-in sessions. These will also be recorded and available on the above website as well. Details are provided below:
