Biennale College Blend
2026-2027
The Call for the second edition of Biennale College - Blend, a new programme of La Biennale di Venezia with all its Artistic Directors and Departments designed for works that do not conform to a predefined form, opened on July 1st on the website www.labiennale.org.
Biennale College - Blend is a space for young artists who wish to explore stories, ideas, and themes without an initial structure, creating complex experiences that may include multiple forms of expression such as music, visual arts, audiovisual media, performing arts, role-playing and more.
Biennale College - Blend, whose deadline expires on October 19th 2026, aims to support the development of 6 international projects presented by 6 artists, accompanied by one member of their production team, aged between 18 and 30 (on the call deadline date).
The projects should be at concept stage and must be rooted in an audiovisual element, involving at least two other art forms.
A Biennale College - Blend Award of € 20,000 will be awarded to the most compellingly structured project, with the award potentially presented in Venice, in the context of La Biennale di Venezia activities.
The Biennale College - Blend programme is realised thanks to the support of Ministero della Cultura. The educational activities are made possible by the Creative Europe – Media programme.
By the end of December 2026, the results of the selection will be notified to the Biennale College - Blend applicants.
23 - 28 February 2027 - First International Workshop (in Venice).
12 – 15 April 2027 - Second International Workshop (online).
Because Biennale College - Blend is a project focused on supporting the birth of brand new hybrid artistic projects, the coaching will also be innovative, using a larp approach.
