Urbane Künste Ruhr
As part of Kultur Ruhr GmbH, Urbane Künste Ruhr is one of the main pillars of the sustainability program of the European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010. Based on the unique urban landscape of the Ruhr Area, we together with artists, networks, and cultural institutions investigate the core of urbanity. Under the artistic direction of Katja Aßmann, Urbane Künste Ruhr develops and realizes projects that define the design of cities in a new way – always on-site and together with the people living here. Urbane Künste Ruhr risks a new perspective on the Ruhr Area, the city in general, and the possibilities of art.
