Word is getting around more and more: the Innsbruck Cultural Strategy 2030 is in work. The baseline study is currently underway before a broad discussion and workshop phase will start in April 2021 lasting several months.
Thomas Philipp, who conducts the surveys and analyses, explains
“For the development of the Innsbruck Cultural Strategy 2030 it is important to us that the discussion and workshop phase does not start ‘from 0 to 100’, but is based on a solid ground. We will, for example, describe which institutions and initiatives are – in what way – active in Innsbruck in the field of art and culture, work out objectives and measures relevant to cultural policy from existing strategy papers, or conduct more than 30 qualitative interviews with personalities from the fields of art and culture and from interface areas.”

The interview partners were selected after intensive discussion in the project team. Various criteria were taken into account in order to reflect the diversity of Innsbruck’s art and culture scene. Thus, different forms of organization, different artistic fields, traditional and contemporary approaches to art and culture, different phases from artistic production to art education, lay and professional work and interfaces such as tourism, education or economy are all covered.

Aliette Dörflinger, who is responsible for the conception and hosting of the workshops, adds:
“In the current phase, our aim is to identify central topics for the further cultural development of the city of Innsbruck – topics that are important for many areas and sectors. With the baseline study, which will be published in March, we will provide an overview of particularly important aspects of the arts and cultural sector in Innsbruck, thus laying the ground for the heart of the cultural strategy process: the discussion and workshop phase. The workshops are the central point of participation, where the framework is created for discussing future objectives and measures for Innsbruck’s art and culture sector with all target groups and interested citizens”.
