Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Official U.S. Representation at the 55th International Art Exhibition, Venice, Italy," supports the selection and organization of the United States' official participation in the Venice Biennale (the 55th edition). It is a discretionary grant funded by the U.S. government under the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (the Fulbright-Hays Act). The larger purpose of the funding is cultural diplomacy: using educational and cultural exchange to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries, to showcase U.S. cultural and artistic achievements, and to strengthen international ties in a way that contributes to friendly, peaceful relations.
The program anticipates making a single award (one grant) with an estimated total funding amount of $315,000, which is also the award ceiling. The award floor is listed as $0, and the funding is tied to FY 2012, pending the availability of funds. The anticipated award date is December 1, 2011, and the anticipated project completion date is January 30, 2014, reflecting the multi-year planning, preparation, presentation, and wrap-up timeline typical of a major international exhibition.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The announcement also makes clear that direct funding to non-U.S. entities is not available through this opportunity. While cost sharing or matching funds are not required, the notice highlights a practical reality: actual costs to mount an official Venice Biennale presentation are often significantly higher than the federal contribution. If an applicant proposes a total project budget above $315,000, the grantee would be responsible for securing and raising the additional funds needed to cover the full scope of the project.
The opportunity was posted on May 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 23, 2011, and an archive date of October 23, 2011. It is categorized under the Arts (within Cultural Affairs) and connected to CFDA 19.415, "Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs / Citizen Exchanges." The administering agency is listed as the Office of Acquisitions Management. The Department also notes that it encourages applications from organizations that have not previously received U.S. government international program funding, signaling an interest in widening the pool of experienced cultural presenters and administrators who can carry out high-profile international representation.
