Welcome

The International Association for Venice Carnival is a non profit-making association.

Members come from all over the world, but membership is bound to a maximum number that cannot be increased for planning reasons: space in Venetian palaces is rather scarce and does not let us, with many regrets, extend us to an excessive number of members.

Therefore, whoever would like to join, should apply to the executive committee, which will follow all steps for the admission of the new member.

Proceeding is very easy: applicant will be included in a waiting list and will be kept informed, through the programme that the Association forwards, of all events organized.

Of course applicant will be allowed to participate, taking advantage of favourable opportunities, awaiting, as soon as place is vacant, to join by right the Association as a permanent member.

For a first contact send an e-mail to Giovanna Barbiero Bonaventura and we will be pleased to answer as soon as possible!

Activities on the prestigious stage of the event

Dear Members and Friends,

On behalf of our artistic director Maurice Agosti, who officially conducts the Venice Carnival in Piazza San Marco, we invite and urge you to join us on the event's prestigious stage as part of our public appearances - an integral aspect of our cultural activities during Carnival.

Therefore, we look forward to your numerous and always beautiful presence on Sunday 23 February 2025.  We will assemble backstage at 11:45 a.m to promenade at 12 noon - more splendid than ever - on the stage of San Marco.

Happy Carnival!

 Have a good day at work!
