The Board of Creative Australia has made the unanimous decision not to proceed with the artistic team chosen for the Venice Biennale 2026. Creative Australia is an advocate for freedom of artistic expression and is not an adjudicator on the interpretation of art. However, the Board believes a prolonged and divisive debate about the 2026 selection outcome poses an unacceptable risk to public support for Australia’s artistic community and could undermine our goal of bringing Australians together through art and creativity. Creative Australia will be reviewing the selection process for the Venice Biennale 2026.

Creative Australia acknowledges the passing of acclaimed Bidjigal Elder and musician, Uncle Vic Simms.  Uncle Vic was a trailblazer in Australian music; he leaves behind an impressive body of work and a significant legacy as a community and cultural leader. Franchesca Cubillo, Executive Director First Nations Arts and Culture, Creative Australia said: “Uncle Vic Simms's life and work are marked by resilience and determination. As a pioneer of First Nations music in Australia, he broke barriers and inspired countless people with his songs and his story. His contribution to the cultural landscape of this country is immeasurable, and his legacy will continue to resonate for years to come. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and community.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gmHXsKSz
