The city of Linz is setting up a funding program that will enable Linz-based artists and independent art and cultural initiatives to invite artists or cultural workers active outside of Austria to Linz for a joint project.
The “LinzIMpORT” funding program is specifically designed to support artists and independent art and cultural initiatives with a connection to Linz in experimental and media art.
LinzIMpORT projects are intended to achieve the following effects:
Positioning Linz as a modern cultural city with the priorities in accordance with 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 impetus for a vibrant independent arts and culture scene in Linz
To promote interdisciplinary artistic creation processes in Linz with artists who work outside of Austria.
