Feldkirch celebrates hundred years - culture with vision and diversity!

Feldkirch, Österreich - Feldkirch faces exciting changes with the appointment of Maria Simma-Keller as the new head of the art and culture department. From October 1st, she will succeed Harald F. Petermichl. Born in Bregenz, known for her comprehensive experiences in the international cultural scene, the finding commission was unanimously selected. Mayor Wolfgang Matt emphasized her profound knowledge and clear vision for future cultural work in the city, which played a crucial role in the selection. Your previous stations, including at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York and as a project manager for the Biennale Arte Venice, make you an optimal choice for this important position.

The Palais Liechtenstein will be the focus of her work, since the further development of the project “Palais Liechtenstein - Heritage and Vision” will be a central topic for the coming years. The aim is to establish the palace as a "house of discourse", in which art and cultural creators of all sectors come together. This complements the development of a comprehensive “cultural strategy 2030”, which is designed in dialogue with the creative community of Feldkirch. Through the appointment, the city has made a significant course for cultural development, which, according to Mayor Matt Matt, will shape the cultural life in Feldkirch, reported Meinzirk.at.

In connection with the celebrations for the anniversary “Feldkirch Eint Hundred”, a new exhibition in the Liechtenstein Palais is opened. This exhibition will make international influences and local developments tangible and is intended to further enrich cultural life in Feldkirch, as ORF Vorarlberg reports. Maria Simma, who is also active as an honorary president of the professional association of visual artists in Vorarlberg, has already dealt intensively with the challenges and opportunities of the city. With her large network and enthusiasm for art and culture, she will undoubtedly give new impulses.
