With this initiative, the Biennale’s educational “creativity system” – which is already operative with increasing success during the events throughout the Veneto – for the first time offers a contribution of particular significance to the forthcoming Venice Carnival 2010, in full coordination with the programme organised by Venezia Marketing & Eventi for the Venice City Council.
The Creativity Garden will combine the Carnival with the art disciplines typical of the Biennale itself in an original manner.
The colours of art, the sounds of music, the fantasies of theatre, the magic of dance, the utopia of architecture and the dreams of cinema will all blend at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in the Giardini, in a single container that will draw visitors into an unusual discovery of the contemporary arts, all under the banner of the Carnival festivities.
With this initial project, the Biennale intends to maintain its educational activities busy throughout the year. The activities are aimed at the young and their families to facilitate an interest in the contemporary arts and are implemented with the support of the Venice Chamber of Commerce in open dialogue with the Province of Venice’s Cultural Affairs Department to increase its activities in the territory.
In 2009, the Biennale’s education activities recorded an increase in participants of 25% on 2007, involving 26,943 individuals, of whom
- 3,551were small children (+ 48%)
- 67% were students
and hailing from
- 38 countries
- 65 provinces around Italy
- 3,321 individuals were involved in projects effected outside Venice
Costumes and accessories made during the Creativity Garden will remain on show in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni. Subsequently, those who wish to participate will be able to process from the Giardini to St Mark’s during the Shrove Tuesday parade (16 February).
