Description
The Department of State’s Cultural Programs Division (ECA/PE/C/CU) in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is pleased to announce an open competition for grants from U.S. based non profit organizations including museums, galleries, visual and design arts centers and schools of design and architecture to organize the official U.S. presentation at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition to be held in Venice, Italy, June 7 through November 23, 2014. A three-day Preview/Inauguration (Vernissage) of the Venice Architecture Biennale will be conducted June 5 and 6 prior to the official opening of the exhibition. The theme of the exhibition is "Fundamentals", see attached theme paper. The international architecture exhibition is the premier showcase for revolutionary ideas in contemporary architecture and planning through national representations. Proposals should represent the most excellent and innovative work in American architecture and landscape architecture. The Biennale is a unique opportunity to share important developments in the American architectural field with members of the international community and engage diverse audiences (e.g., youth, women, minorities and underserved communities). The U.S. Department of State has special interest in engaging these audiences through outreach activities associated with the exhibition. Proposals that demonstrate an especially robust outreach plan of exhibition-related activities to engage the public and broaden the impact of the exhibition with these audiences will be judged especially competitive.Pending the availability of funds, the Department of State will make up to $100,000 available for all aspects of the exhibition including development, preparation, travel of curators and key participants, production, installation, dismantling, and the return or onward shipping of the exhibition at the Biennale’s end. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice will provide the staffing, maintenance, and operations of the U.S. Pavilion during exhibit installation and removal, and for the period of the exhibition (approximately three months). Click on the “Full Announcement” button and download all five announcement documents (RFGP, PSI, Sample Budget, Pavilion Floor Plans, theme description) to ensure the technical eligibility of your submission.
