Venice Biennale is often called the “ Olympics of the Art World ” The best national pavilion is awarded the Golden Lion .

Artists who snag the coveted perch inside the US pavilion can turn from critical darlings into mega-gallery-backed art stars.

The US has programmed its pavilion during every two-year cycle.

Usually, the grant for the pavilion is posted by the State Department about 18 months before the exhibition is set to open in La Serenissima .

Usually, curators submit their proposals for an exhibition by a single artist, a demanding exercise that requires rigorous scholarship, keen politicking, and a taste for the zeitgeist.

The application is nearly a hundred pages long, but the portal was nowhere to be found this week .

State Department , NEA , ECA and NEA offer to apply for 2026 U.S. pavilion.

ECA has added language that was not previously included in program statements: "Promotes American values" Frieze New York is next week , and last week the fair went down in the Windy City .
