Personal Structures 2026: Confluences

📍The Venice Biennale

🗓 From 9 May to 22 November 2026

🕤 Open daily from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, closed on Tuesdays


Since 2011, Personal Structures has become one of the collateral events of the Venice Biennale, with evolving curatorial themes.

The European Cultural Centre Italy announces Confluences as the theme of Personal Structures 2026, the biennial international contemporary art exhibition returning to Venice for its eighth edition. From 9 May to 22 November 2026, the exhibition will once again unfold across the historic venues of Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and the Marinaressa Gardens, transforming the city into a vibrant laboratory of artistic visions, practices, and languages.


With a renewed curatorial framework, a new visual identity aligned with the exhibition’s conceptual direction, and the debut of PS Design, a new section dedicated to the design world, Personal Structures 2026 expands its scope while remaining deeply rooted in its founding principles. Admission is free and open daily from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, closed on Tuesdays.
