Festival of Regions
scouts and conquers a region or town in Upper Austria
every two years. Away from urban concentrations and
cultural centres, a program with contemporary art and
culture as an attractive option for the residents and a
broad, curious public is shaped and commu nicated. Apart
from regional, supraregional and international
participation by artmakers, collaboration is sought with
local associations, institutions and good individual forces
to anchor the festival on location and to leave behind
traces that are as distinct as possible.
