Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture

In 2009, Linz will be a capital of culture and a host within Europe. This challenge and opportunity requires careful and inspired work which seeks to establish a high level of artistic quality of form and content between culture, politics and the economy. New connections must develop, new perspectives and new visions. In this sense, we are tied to the conditions, wishes and hopes of the city and surrounding region of Linz. On this basis, the year as capital of culture should become a moving and memorable celebration for many within a peaceful atmosphere and an event which opens doors. At the same time our full attention should be given to the lasting effects of what we do. Linz 2009 is also Linz 2015 and this is what we want to be judged by.
