Kunstnacht is an art experience festival in Nijmegen. The festival lets you discover in an accessible way all that Nijmegen and the region have to offer in terms of art and culture.
Participating cultural organisations with different backgrounds are linked together to create unique crossovers between different disciplines. It is a true voyage of discovery where you get to experience new or familiar locations and organisations in new ways!
Kunstnacht believes that experiencing art can bring our busy lives to a halt for a while, amaze us, stimulate us to think or act in a different way and can bring us together. Together with the participating cultural organisations, we are turning the city (and eventually the region) into one big festival where art is the vehicle of the experience. Through the many visitors the event attracts, Kunstnacht contributes to raising the profile of the city and its surroundings. In this way, Kunstnacht makes the Nijmegen region a little more pleasant to live and work in.
Both the public and the participating cultural organisations are challenged to look beyond their own beaten track. In a nice and accessible atmosphere, the public is enticed to explore Nijmegen's diverse cultural circuit and get to know new cultural locations and art institutions.
Moreover, audiences can discover already familiar locations in a new way, for instance by exploring a museum by night or being allowed to look backstage at a theatre. Cultural institutions step outside their own boxes, they are encouraged to present themselves as attractively as possible to new audiences, they can learn from their cooperation partners and experiment with new art disciplines.
In addition, the cultural network in the entire 025 region is strengthened: many organisations find each other not only during the organisation of Kunstnacht, but also afterwards many new collaborations persist.
