Strategie für Kunst und Kultur des Landes Niederösterreich – Neufassung 2021 (Strategy for Culture and Art in the Province of Lower Austria – New version 2021)

The “Strategie für Kunst und Kultur des Landes Niederösterreich” is a revised strategy adopted in 2021 for culture and art in Lower Austria.
The strategy acknowledges art and culture as foundational elements of regional identity. It underscores the necessity of preserving this heritage for future generations while fostering contemporary cultural expressions and initiatives.
Key to the strategy is the participatory approach, involving stakeholders from various cultural sectors in its development. This includes artists, cultural managers, and the public, ensuring a broad-based and inclusive policy.
The document outlines several guidelines and fields of action designed to nurture and expand the region’s cultural offerings. Notably, the guidelines emphasise cultural participation for all, innovation, strengthening networks, and promoting diversity and equality. These principles ensure that cultural heritage is not only preserved but also dynamically integrated into contemporary life.
Key themes addressed by the 2021 strategy are access points for families, digital opportunities, sustainability and climate responsibility, and the integration of culture with tourism to create comprehensive experiences.
