Growth & Professional Development Over the past three years, many participants who began their journey within the project have developed professional CVs and achieved deeper integration into the contemporary art field.
ANV Biennale is a self-sustained non-profit project. All participation fees go toward supporting and developing the program. Participation in the project’s exhibitions is free for members.

Parents, guardians, and representatives may be involved in the process, and the project team supports participants and families throughout every stage of participation.
