Why the Biennale
Rest is an art.
Since 1895, the Venice Biennale has been the defining event in contemporary art, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors from over 90 countries across six months. During opening week, the city transforms: collectors, curators, journalists, and artists converge for a marathon of pavilions, exhibitions, and events.
It's the most exciting week in the art world.
Calm Café arrives as the peaceful respite that's been missing. Unfolding over 3 days, offering a place to land, a place to rest, and a place to breathe.
