Linz’s neighbourhoods join in the cultural concert

All of Linz is Linz09! CAPITAL OF CULTURE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF THE MONTH puts each of Linz’s twelve neighbourhoods centre stage for a month at a time. The first to go is “Alte Innenstadt” – Messrs Juhann and Jod are ready to welcome everyone at their Art Palace in the Hauptplatz.
The multi-purpose culture trailer fittingly called “Kunstpalast” [Art Palace] will form the red thread that runs through the programme of “Capital of Culture Neighbourhood of the Month”. Its first port of call will be Alte Innenstadt, the first Neighbourhood of the Month. The Altstadt is also where three “wise women” will be making their rounds, knocking on doors that display the “’Seal of Hospitality”. They are hoping they will be offered hospitality – in exchange for the gift they have brought.Each month will shift the focus of attention to a new neighbourhood. The stint of Alte Innenstadt opens with all due circumstance on 3 January at 6:00pm; the opening features a buffet, a performance and a video clip screened at “maiz” in the Badgasse.
