QUEER ART SPACES VIENNA
Queer Art Spaces Vienna is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and inclusive world for queer art, artists and their expressions. We champion contemporary queer art as a powerful catalyst for social change, understanding, and acceptance.
Our mission is to provide unwavering support, advocacy, and platforms for queer art, artists and projects, enabling them to thrive and innovate fearlessly.
With your help we stand as a beacon of empowerment. Embracing diversity across all spectrums of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and background. By endorsing and celebrating contemporary queer art, we aim to dismantle barriers, challenge stereotypes, and amplify voices that have long been marginalized.
Synergies of Solidarity is a queer art and community festival taking place from 20 May to 5 September 2026. Organised by the non-profit association Queer Art Spaces Vienna, the festival follows a trans-institutional approach.
The programme consists of four exhibitions at Kunsthalle Exnergasse in the 9th district, Schlumberger Art Floor in the 19th district, QWIEN in the 5th district, and (+) Verein Plus in the 11th district, Last Little Haven in the 6th district, Gayt Gallery in the fifth district, alongside further collaborative events.
The aim is to make queer art and culture visible across Vienna, to open decentralised spaces for dialogue within the broader society, and to strengthen sustainable connections within Vienna’s art and cultural landscape. At its core, the festival engages with contemporary queer art and culture as a socially effective practice that addresses solidarity, intersectionality, and collective responsibility.
