Travel with The Aldrich: Venice Biennale

Thursday, October 8 to Tuesday, October 13, 2026
Participation is open to Aldrich supporters who have made a gift of $1,000 or more to the Museum

Join The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum for an exclusive five-day trip to Venice to experience the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia with Executive Director Cybele Maylone and Diana Bowes Chief Curator Amy Smith-Stewart.

The 2026 Biennale, In Minor Keys, is the final curatorial vision of the late Koyo Kouoh. With the full support of her family, La Biennale di Venezia will realize the exhibition exactly as she conceived it, honoring her legacy and showcasing the work of several notable Aldrich alumni artists.

Guests will stay at the five-star Ca’ di Dio, a beautifully reimagined Venetian property overlooking the lagoon. This immersive program includes curated tours, museum and studio visits, a private tour of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and select meals, with all ground transportation and lodging provided. 

Full trip information, pricing, and reservation details may be found here.
