We connect early to mid-career visual arts professionals with international art events to foster skills and develop global networks. 

The Biennale Delegates Program is a development opportunity for early to mid -career visual arts professionals. It supports producers, technicians, writers, curators, artists, and project managers from Australia. 

This program helps participants connect with major international art events and provides opportunities to develop skills, exchange ideas, and build networks for future projects and collaborations. 

Through the program, participants gain exposure to global visual arts practices and engage with key figures in the field. This aligns with Creative Australia's focus on fostering international engagement and supporting career growth in the arts sector. 

Program highlights 

• Opportunities to engage with artists, producers and curators participating in international visual art events.
• Skill development in cultural exchange, exhibition production and project management.
• Access to global networks for future collaborations.
