IKG.Kultur - The Cultural Department of the Jewish Community of Vienna

Vibrant, diverse, and connecting – this is the guiding principle of the cultural program of IKG.Kultur, the cultural department of the Jewish Community of Vienna.

Our cultural work is exceptionally multifaceted, bridging the rich Jewish cultures of Central- and Eastern-Europe before the Shoah, with the present and a future international Jewish culture.

Through events such as the Jewish Street Festival, the Cantors’ Concert and the Jewish New Year’s Concert we showcase the vitality and diversity of Jewish culture while fostering dialogue between Jewish and non-Jewish audiences.

Especially in light of the renewed rise of antisemitism worldwide, we are committed to openness and encounter. By promoting contemporary Jewish art and culture we seek to encourage understanding, mutual respect, and the prevention of prejudice.
