Preserving American Artistry on the Global Stage. At the American Arts Conservancy, we champion American artists and the enduring power of cultural diplomacy. The Venice Biennale—the world’s most influential contemporary art exhibition—has long served as a stage for nations to share their creative voices.
Every two years, the Venice Biennale transforms the historic city into the heart of the global art world. Through its national pavilions, countries share their cultural voice and creative vision with audiences from around the world.
In alignment with our mission of preservation, education, and diplomacy, AAC continues to support initiatives that celebrate American art in dialogue with the world.

The Venice Biennale stands as one of the most enduring platforms for international cultural dialogue. Established in 1895, it remains a defining moment in the global arts calendar, uniting artists, curators, and visitors from more than ninety nations.
The American Pavilion, situated among the historic gardens of the Giardini, reflects a long tradition of artistic excellence and freedom of expression. Over the decades, it has presented some of the most influential voices in American art, underscoring our nation’s dedication to creativity, dialogue, and diplomacy.
This year marks the 61st International Art Exhibition, centered on the theme of exploring new ways of understanding humanity’s role in a connected world. The Biennale continues to serve as a space where nations express their shared aspirations for peace, unity, and progress—values that lie at the core of The American Arts Conservancy’s mission.
