Venezuelan pavilion

The Venezuelan pavilion houses Venezuela's national representation during the Venice Biennale arts festivals.

Often described as "the Olympics of the art world", participation in the Biennale is a prestigious event for contemporary artists.

The Biennale parent organization also hosts regular festivals in other arts: architecture, dance, film, music, and theater.

Nations that own their pavilion buildings, such as the 30 housed on the Giardini, are responsible for their own upkeep and construction costs as well.

The government of Marcos Pérez Jiménez agreed to fund a national pavilion, the first for a Latin American country.
