Open call for 2027 edition
Festival of Regions
https://www.fdr.at
Deadline: April 30, 2026
Festival dates: June 11–20, 2027
Location: Danube region (upstream from Linz), Austria
The Festival of Regions—one of Austria's most prominent biennial events for contemporary art and culture since 1993—invites artists, cultural practitioners, and initiatives to submit project proposals for its 2027 edition, titled Eintauchen / Diving Deeper.
The Danube as protagonist
In 2027, the festival turns to the Danube as a central protagonist. Rather than approaching the river as landscape, stage, or resource, the focus lies on its role as a living and politically charged entity that shapes—and is shaped by—human and non-human relations.
