Change and cohesion
By connecting the familiar and traditional with the transformative power of art and culture, we can bring people closer together.
Art and culture that unites and transforms
Aarhus Festival sees culture as more than entertainment - it builds bridges between people and strengthens communities. By combining tradition with the transformative power of art, the festival aims to bring people together and create an understanding of shared values. At the same time, the mission is to use culture as a driver for change by challenging norms and inspiring reflection and innovation. Aarhus Festival thus works to create cohesion and promote a diverse and forward-looking shared reality.
