Every year, the VIENNA ART WEEK shines a spotlight on Vienna’s vibrant art scene. Together with around 70 program partners, the festival offers a week of inspiring art from the Baroque to the present with free admission.

VIENNA ART WEEK sees itself as a joint platform of the Viennese art community and is based on a cooperation of Viennese art institutions, art universities, galleries, independent art spaces, and artists that is unique worldwide.

From November 18-25, 2022, VIENNA ART WEEK turned all spotlights on the Viennese art scene for the 18^th consecutive year. This year’s theme CHALLENGING ORDERS invited artists to question existing norms and orders in their artistic practice in a variety of ways: for example, by challenging and replacing existing canons, by criticizing institutions, or by rethinking the social and political status quo.
