The Venice Biennale is the oldest, and remains the most important, visual arts biennial event. Every two years, Venice becomes the world stage and the Biennale the leading showcase for contemporary art. The 2007 Biennale sees Australia’s most ambitious – and exciting – undertaking yet: 3 Artists, 3 Projects, 3 Sites.

The Nelson Meers Foundation supported the 2007 Biennale’s inaugural professional development program, the Established and Emerging Curators’ Program, which enabled fifteen Australian curators and arts educators to participate in the world’s most important forum for contemporary visual arts.

We supported this project because we believe that our arts sector needs professional development opportunities for arts practitioners for its survival.
