September is around the corner, bringing the tenth edition of Austria’s top art fair, viennacontemporary. But that’s not all—Vienna and the surrounding region will host several other major art festivals around the same time, making it a late summer art hub.

We’ve got everything you need to dive into Vienna’s vibrant art scene, with joint events from our festival partners and even a combo ticket with Parallel Vienna available.

 

Curated by

Since 2009, the gallery festival Curated by has developed into a central and indispensable event for contemporary art in Vienna, which – supported by selected Vienna-based galleries – has become an international showcase for the city. The focus on content through the annual theme, the international orientation through the choice of curators and artists, the unusual format as a festival, and the collaborative shoulder-to-shoulder approach of the galleries make Curated by a unique contemporary art project with international reach.

Parallel Vienna

Parallel Vienna provides a platform for artists to present their creations and engage with a diverse audience. Visitors can explore thought-provoking installations, interact with artists, and immerse themselves in the dynamic atmosphere of the contemporary art scene. This year, Parallel Vienna takes place from 11-15 September at the beautiful Otto Wagner Pavillion.
