Hello! We have 2 rooms left for our Venice Biennale visit from 21-25 June, 2026
Would you like to join me and my lovely assistant Bilge at the Venice Biennale.
This amazing modern art event happens every two years. This year’s theme is called “In Minor Keys”. It was conceived as a meditation on softness, nuance and the radicality of joy. We’ll be visiting the two sites of the Biennale; Giardini and Arsenale, however we’ll also take in lesser visited venues. Our trip is five days / 21-25 June and we’ll be staying at the Villa Mabapa on Lido. The Mabapa is a family-run hotel with a garden, pool and wonderful views across the lagoon to Venice. We will also visit the new exhibition at The Guggenheim curated by Grazina Subelyte – this is a show focusing on Peggy Guggenheim’s art gallery in London in the 1930s.
If you’ve been thinking about the Venice Biennale, this is your opportunity to discover the 2026 edition.
