"Kultursommer Wien": Submissions possible until January 15

In July and August 2026, the "Cultural Summer Vienna" will take place for the seventh time, featuring music, cabaret, theater, dance, performance, literature, and contemporary circus on pop-up stages in public spaces. Children's programs and garden concerts in retirement homes are also planned. Submissions are possible until January 15, 2026. This time, the selection committee consists of Ana Marwan (Literature), Hosea Ratschiller (Cabaret), and Patrick Rothkegel (Theater).

"Cultural Summer Vienna promotes cultural participation on and off the stage"

"Through the combination of low-threshold access, curated selection, and fair pay, the festival sets international standards for opening up the cultural sector," it was stated in a release on Tuesday, praising the "Cultural Summer Vienna" as one of Europe's largest cultural platforms with an open call and promising "fair payment for all performers." "The Cultural Summer Vienna promotes cultural participation on and off the stage: The open application process gives artists the opportunity to co-create the program, while free admission to all events opens access to culture for a broad, heterogeneous audience."

According to the two directors, Caro Madl and Siglind Güttler, "artists who often encounter structural barriers in the cultural sector should also be particularly invited." Online information events for interested parties are planned for December 9 and 17, as well as January 12, 2026.
