The Canada Council for the Arts is accepting applications from students and graduates from architecture schools in Canada as well as professionals in the early stages of their careers in architecture or the arts to apply for the 2025 Venice Fellowship.
The fellowship provides an opportunity to spend one month in Venice, Italy, and engage with the official Canadian entry to the 19th International Architecture Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia, an installation by Living Room Collective.
The International Architecture Exhibition features a central exhibition with more than 100 international participants, 60 national pavilions and various events. The prestigious exhibition attracts 300,000 visitors annually, including architects, artists, students and more from across the globe.
“The Venice 2025 Fellowship is a unique opportunity to conduct independent research during the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, taking place from May 10 to November 23, 2025,” said the Canada Council for the Arts.
The Canada Council for the Arts will award 14 grants, and give priority to people who identify as First Nations, Inuit or Métis, Black, racialized, Deaf or disabled, members of official language minority communities, young people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, people of diverse gender identities, women and people at the crossroads of these identities. The Arts Board will also ensure that the fellows reflect Canada’s regional diversity.
Recipients will have the opportunity to take part in the Living Room Collective exhibition and gain hands-on experience by overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Canada Pavilion, located in the Giardini di Castello.
The amount of the scholarship is $5,000.
The deadline to apply is October 15, 2024. The Canada Council for the Arts will announce the fellows in February 2025.
