Visitor service and public programme

With the aid of its visitor service and extensive public programmes, steirischer herbst seeks to initiate and promote a broad discussion of contemporary art. The aim is to get as many different sections of the population as possible interested and involved in the various festival services.
With the main focus of this year's festival on innovative projects in the field of dramatic arts, new forms of art education have been developed for this artistic discipline.
As a forum for contemporary art that consciously reflects on social events, integrating young visitors is of special importance to steirischer herbst. Dialogue and exchange between artists and young people is a key component of educational work at steirischer herbst.
