Linz is absolutely delighted to have been granted membership in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, an association that brings together cities from different countries that have identified creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development. Its seven Thematic Networks are Literature, Film, Music, Crafts & Folk Art, Design, Media Arts and Gastronomy.
“The creative industry is a future-oriented sector that is highly significant for social, cultural and economic developments. As an international hub for media art and with its positioning as a creative city, Linz is a magnet for young creative people and companies.”
Councillor Doris Lang-Mayerhofer, Cultural Affairs Officer for the City of Linz
