VIA Partner Travel: 2022 European Experience
Artful is delighted to partner with VIA Art Fund to offer a three country European excursion which includes documenta, a special studio tour with Wu Tsang in Zurich and a finale exploring the Venice Bienale, including the Arsenale, Giardini and other satellite exhibitions. We have designed with VIA a unique European experience for partners, including special access to multiple art venues. The experience will focus on visits to key documenta and Venice biennale exhibitions, including VIA supported work of Simone Leigh in the US Pavilion.
This trip will be led by VIA Director Brooke Davis Anderson who will help partners to investigate important cultural topics rasied by Cecilia Alemani Director of the Venice Biennale and ruangrupa artistic director for documenta 15. Wu Tsang will share her process as we tour her studio. Our global art network will benefit partners as our friends from the art world join us at meals throughout the trip as guests, sharing their insider knowledge. Whether this is your first trip to the biennale or your 10th you will be in for a special treat!
In creating this trip for you, we have focused on what we believe are the most important aspects of a memorable art experience—first class art, gracious hospitality and impeccable service. We aim to engage you in discussion about the art as you bond with old and new VIA partners and explore these art rich cities.
Our European experience is priced at $10,725 per person (and $6900 for a plus one) and includes all transportation, lodging, and meals during your trip. This trip is limited to 20 guests and your booking is requested May 25th, 2022. There is no minimum of guests required to operate this trip, but the price may increase if there are under ten partners.

Cancellations before 60 days will receive a full refund minus a $500 administrative fee. Cancel for any reason (CFAR) trip insurance is recommended and offered during the booking process.
