Urbane Künste Ruhr

An interactive map, a user-friendly calendar, a smart search, news, publications, and plenty of details inviting you to rediscover Urbane Künste Ruhr.

Urbane Künste Ruhr is a polymorphous, decentralised institution for contemporary art in the Ruhr region and has been under the artistic direction of Britta Peters since January 2018. Founded after the European Capital of Culture in 2010, Urbane Künste Ruhr initiates projects in public spaces, exhibitions, programmes for guest artists and events, often in collaboration with local and international partners. At the heart of the relaunch is an ambitious new tour – the Grand Snail Tour – set to reach all 53 cities in the Ruhr area over the next three years.
