Apply to take part in Venice Glass Week

Applications are invited from glass artists for the 2025 Venice Glass Week, the ninth annual international glass festival taking place across the city of Venice and Murano, Italy, from 13–21 September.

Individuals and organisations can submit proposals for exhibitions and installations as well as conferences, lectures, demonstrations and more.  Applicants can either propose their own event venue or apply to exhibit at one of The Venice Glass Week HUBs (or request support in sourcing another venue elsewhere in the city).

There will be a HUB Under35 exhibition space for artists and designers aged 18-35 at the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Galleria di Piazza San Marco (St Mark’s Square), in the heart of Venice. Up to three artworks per artist can be displayed here.

For artists and designers aged 36 and over, HUB – Campo Santo Stefano will be hosted in the Palazzo Loredan, home of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti in Campo Santo Stefano, one of the most popular squares in the city. Again, artists can apply to show up to three artworks in the ground floor and first floor galleries of this historic space.

It is free to apply to take part in The Venice Glass Week 2025, and there is no Festival participation fee. However, with the exception of The Venice Glass Week HUBs, participants are entirely and independently responsible for all costs and administration relating to the planning, organisation and running of their individual events.
