VIENNA ART WEEK<\/h2>\n

VIENNA ART WEEK was founded in 2005 and shines a spotlight on Vienna’s vibrant art scene every November. Together with around 70 program partners, the festival offers a week of inspiring art from the present to the Baroque with free admission at all its events and has become one of the most important art events in the Danube region, attracting around 30,000 visitors each year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each year, the festival program includes more than 100 events and ranges from guided tours and studio visits to expert talks, performances, workshops and exhibition openings as well as lectures, symposia, and interventions in public spaces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally to being a festival, 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 artist associations\u00a0that is unique worldwide. Our year-round art calendar on the website shows the visitors the diverse offer of the city.<\/p>\n
