The story

Vienna Art Week in Vienna

Vienna Art Week's centerpiece Open Studio Days opens roughly fifty jury-selected artists' studios to the public each November weekend, offering direct access to working spaces and artists rather than finished gallery displays. The broader week layers talks and exhibitions across the city's museums and galleries.

Vienna Art Week's Open Studio Days format has run since 2012, and across more than a decade it has brought over 450 artists into direct contact with visitors who might otherwise never see inside a working studio.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Around fifty artists are selected annually by an expert jury from well over a hundred applicants, meaning studio access changes completely each year rather than repeating a fixed roster of names

02

The mystery stays covered

Visitors see works in progress, material tests and the physical clutter of active studios rather than curated final pieces on a white wall, and get to talk directly with the artist about process instead of reading a label

03

The city starts moving

Guided district tours link multiple open studios within the same neighborhood into a single walkable route, letting visitors cover several artists in an afternoon rather than navigating scattered addresses alone
