New Zealand’s presence at the Venice Biennale, which is often referred to as the Olympics of the Art world, is made possible by the Arts Council of Creative New Zealand along with a significant number of supporters and patrons.
“An official presence brings New Zealand contemporary art to the attention of global media, art institutions, experts and gallerists and offers professional development opportunities for the curators, exhibition attendants and team members including the technical, design and artistic contributors to the project.”
