Description
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Cultural Programs Division (ECA/PE/C/CU) is issuing an Annual Program Statement (APS) to support U.S. presentations at international art biennales. The goal is to advance international understanding of American values by exposing foreign audiences to innovative art that reflects these values and fosters dialogue on global challenges. This funding opportunity, with Assistance Listing Number 19.415, is open to U.S.-based non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) status. Applicants must provide cost-sharing or matching funds. The funding is available throughout the year, with review cycles tied to specific biennale events. Awards are anticipated to be up to $375,000 per biennale cycle, with a portion allocated for the U.S. Pavilion operations in Venice. Key objectives include conducting outreach events during the biennale, developing educational and virtual programming to engage foreign audiences, and implementing a media campaign to reach U.S. audiences. The program aims to foster mutual understanding, advance U.S. foreign policy, build capacity in creative industries, and showcase the artistic merit of the United States. Applicants are encouraged to align their proposals with the themes of the specific biennale, which can be found on the La Biennale di Venezia website.
