Bvlgari was announced as the exclusive partner for the International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
The Roman luxury Maison will support the Venice Biennale for the next three editions, starting in 2026 and continuing in 2028 and 2030. The partnership further cements Bvlgari’s dedication to the arts as it joins forces with one of the most significant art events worldwide in its home country of Italy.
Bvlgari’s emphasis on the creation of beauty as an object of cultural force and shared heritage is exemplified in its new partnership with the Venice Biennale of Art, which showcases a desire to participate as a major actor in the arts on the international stage while acknowledging the role art plays in society.
“It is with great pride and deep emotion that we stand alongside the International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia for the next three editions, a prestigious institution that embodies the courage to question, the vision to innovate, and the sensitivity to narrate the evolving spirit of our time. Becoming the exclusive partner of one of the world’s most influential platforms for contemporary art powerfully reaffirms Bvlgari’s enduring dedication to artistic excellence and creative expression. Venice holds profound symbolic meaning for our Maison as a timeless crossroads where cultures have met for centuries, and where today, the dialogue between identity, heritage, and modernity continues to flourish in extraordinary ways.” says Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari.
The 2026 edition of the Venice Biennale will realise the vision and theme of the late Koyo Kouoh. Entitled In Minor Keys, the exhibition will bring together artists worldwide to reflect on new ways of perceiving and receiving while encouraging a gentle and measured approach to life aligned with the finer frequencies surrounding us.
For the upcoming edition in 2026, several national participations have already been announced. So far, national pavilions include Nabil Nahas representing Lebanon, Yto Barrada representing France, and Abbas Akhavan who has been selected to represent Canada.
International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia runs from 9 May until 22 November 2026
