The City of Linz is establishing a funding program to enable Linz artists and independent art and cultural initiatives to invite artists or cultural workers working outside of Austria to Linz for a joint project.
The funding program “LinzIMpORT” is intended to support artists and independent art and cultural initiatives with a connection to Linz with experimental art. LinzIMpORT projects aim to achieve the following effects:
- Positioning Linz as a modern cultural city with the priorities set out in the Linz Cultural Development Plan (KEP)
- Building networks and contacts between local and international art and culture scenes and creating added value for Linz art and culture activists
- sustainable impulses for a vibrant independent art and culture scene in Linz
- Promoting interdisciplinary artistic creation processes and enabling artistic work in Linz with artists who work outside of Austria.
