Wiener concept promotion: New opportunities for the free theater scene 2027-2030

Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz 5, 1080 Wien, Österreich - On May 15, 2025, the revision of concept promotion for performing art in Vienna was officially confirmed as part of the Vienna Cultural Strategy 2030. The aim of this initiative is to better promote funding to the needs of the free scene. Particular attention is paid to central issues such as fair pay, diversity and crisis resilience, which have become increasingly important for the artistic community in recent years. The revision was completed by the cultural department (MA 7) in Vienna and represents a significant step to take into account the requirements of the free scene that have changed since the introduction of funding in 2003. This reports OTS mentioned.

The city of Vienna not only shows its commitment to the artistic diversity, but also for a sustainable and fair development of performing art. The possibility of strengthening the support of freelance artists could have a long -term positive effects on the entire cultural landscape in Vienna. Questions on this topic can be addressed to Mag.A Dr.in Heide Kunzelmann, MA, by the City of Vienna Culture.
