Choose the visit window deliberately
Pre-opening concentrates media and professional attendance, while later dates allow more time with the exhibitions. Choose according to the meetings, research and guest experience required.
Separate the main venues from the wider city
The Giardini and Arsenale form the core, while national and collateral projects extend across Venice. Group visits geographically and leave margin for queues and vaporetto travel.
Research before requesting meetings
A useful brief should connect the practice, pavilion or institution with a specific subject. Curators and architects receive high volumes of approaches, so relevance and preparation matter.
Record every confirmation precisely
Note the host, location, access condition, guest names and contact. Do not treat a general exhibition ticket as access to previews, receptions or private spaces.
