Biennale Sessions

On the occasion of the 18th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia addresses universities, academies of fine arts and higher education institutions with a special project.

La Biennale di Venezia considers the Exhibition as a place where universities, academies of fine arts, higher education institutions, as well as research institutes, can plan a visit especially designed for their educational activities;

La Biennale di Venezia aims at providing these institutions with favourable conditions to organise such visits.

Biennale Sessions project is addressed to institutions that intend to visit the  18th International Architecture Exhibition with a minimum of 50 persons (faculty and students included). Slightly smaller groups might be accepted in particular circumstances, subject to approval.

• special attendance conditions at concurrent events and initiatives organised by the Dance, Music, Theatre, and Cinema Departments as well as by the Historical Archive of Contemporary Arts (ASAC);
• discounts at snack areas and restaurants located at the Exhibition venues;
• help in organising their stay;
