This October, join Oolite Arts on an immersive Art Away experience to Venice. Step into one of the world’s most prestigious contemporary art exhibitions with a five-day journey to the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, In Minor Keys by Koyo Kouoh. This immersive experience, designed for our members, offers private access, expert guidance, and curated visits across Venice—from the Giardini and Arsenale to major exhibitions, private palazzi, and collections.

A highlight of the trip is a visit to see the work of Edouard Duval-Carrié—Oolite Arts board member, alumnus, and first recipient of Oolite Arts’ Lifetime Achievement Award, inspired by Michael Richards—whose work will be on view in the Giardini della Biennale, the historic primary site for the Venice Biennale, a moment that marks a powerful and proud milestone for Miami on the global stage.

Book soon! Discounted hotel rates are available until June 30.

Details: Oct. 5–10, 2026; five days of curated access and cultural immersion

Space is limited. Join us for a journey shaped by art, access, and discovery.
