Program
Since its founding in 2005, Kunstraum Niederoesterreich serves as a platform for the promotion, presentation, and mediation of performance. Our public program showcases contemporary forms of live arts and performative artistic or curatorial practices, which manifest in solo presentations, exhibitions, event series, and our educational formats.
H13 Lower Austria Prize for Performance
One of our primary instruments to support performance is the H13 Lower Austria Prize for Performance, to date the only award of its kind for performance in Austria. The prize is awarded annually and is endowed with 5.000 EUR. All artists based in Austria who work performatively are eligible to apply.
