🎙️🇮🇹 The Venice Biennale Fellowship – A Career-Changing Opportunity for Emerging Arts Professionals

In this special bonus episode of All About Art, I’m sharing some incredibly exciting news: NXT GEN is partnering with the British Council to send one of our members as a Fellow on a fully funded, month-long residency to the Venice Biennale 2026! If you’re an emerging arts professional within the first 5 years of your career, this episode is essential listening.

I walk through everything you need to know about the Venice Biennale – its 130-year history, the wild energy of opening week (think: superyachts, Rick Owens airport raves, and endless Aperol Spritzes), and what Fellows actually do during their residency. You’ll spend half your time working as an Exhibition Ambassador at the British Pavilion and the other half pursuing your own independent research or creative project. It’s fully funded, includes mentorship from me, and could genuinely be a career-defining experience.

I also share the moving story behind the 2026 edition, “In Minor Keys,” conceived by the late curator Koyo Kouoh – the first African woman to curate the Venice Biennale. Her vision of art as quiet resistance and emotional transformation is being realized by her curatorial team, and as a Fellow, you’d be part of bringing her ideas into conversation with visitors from around the world.

Whether you’re thinking of applying, know someone who should, or simply want to understand more about how opportunities like this can shape careers in the arts, this episode is for you.
