Venice Architectural Biennale

For such events as the Biennale di Venezia, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs issues Open Calls for Proposals to all U.S. curators at non-profit arts organizations. Proposals reviewed by the Federal Advisory Committee on International Exhibitions (FACIE), a committee of leading U.S. curators and experts in American architecture and design, convened by the National Endowment for the Arts on behalf of the U.S. Department of State for the purpose of assessing the proposals and making recommendations for exhibitions to represent the U.S. at major international exhibitions.
