Vienna Weekly | 11.05-17.05 | #viennacontemporary Magazine

While Corona had forced Vienna into temporary lockdown, the city’s art scene has by far not ceased to inspire us with their creative output. In no time, Vienna’s creatives have set up an impressive amount of online activities to be enjoyed safely from home. If you feel like venturing into the city, make sure to visit the local galleries that have started to open their doors again.

We’re happy to guide you through the highlights of this week’s online events and provide you with a comprehensive list of the galleries back in business.
