In the United Kingdom there is a great deal of interest in artists from the Netherlands and the Caribbean part of the Kingdom. In recent years many of them have been invited to exhibit their work in the United Kingdom. To further stimulate this exchange, the Mondriaan Fund offers the Voucher Liverpool Biennial.
The contribution is intended to boost the international position of visual artists from the Netherlands and the Caribbean part of the Kingdom by encouraging their presence at important international events. The Mondriaan Fund offers visual artists the opportunity to gain insight into the field of international visual arts, strengthen their own international network and support them in their international profile.
The Mondriaan Fund is making 20 travel vouchers available (from June 4 to 8, 2025) for the preview and opening of the upcoming Liverpool Biennial in 2025. Courtesy of the Liverpool Biennial, 20 tickets are available for the preview days and opening.
Deadline is 24 October 2024, before 16.00 (Netherlands Time zone)/ 10.00 (Caribbean Time zone).

In this way, the biennial brings visual art to people and makes art part of their daily lives.
