Tender description

The British Council has been responsible for the British Pavilion at the International Art and Architecture Exhibitions of La Biennale di Venezia since 1937, showcasing the best of the UK's artists, architects, designers and curators. These exhibitions, and the British Council's Venice Fellowships initiative introduced in 2014, help make the British Pavilion a major platform for discussion about contemporary art and architecture. The British Council supports peace and prosperity by building connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and countries worldwide. Through our work in Arts and Culture, we find new ways of connecting with and understanding each other, building creative and collaborative global communities that inspire innovation, inclusion and enterprise. The Venice Fellowships Programme is a unique opportunity for early-career creative individuals to spend a month in Venice during the world's most important art and architecture biennales.
