Alma Allen: Call Me the Breeze
WITH GRATITUDEThe American Arts Conservancy extends its deepest gratitude to the individuals, families, foundations, and institutional partners whose generosity and commitment made Alma Allen: Call Me the Breeze, the official United States Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, possible.
The presentation of American art on an international stage is an extraordinary undertaking, made possible by those who believe in the enduring importance of artistic expression, cultural diplomacy, and the exchange of ideas.
We are profoundly grateful to our supporters, whose confidence in this project has allowed us to realize an ambitious artistic vision while advancing our commitments to education, public accessibility, and the preservation of the United States Pavilion for future generations.
