Press Conference: Growing Together Across Borders!

On 5 March, the Kultur Bruck initiative was presented under its new name KulturOn.at at Energiepark Bruck an der Leitha. The platform aims to act as an interface between cultural organisers, artists, and the community, supported by a broad alliance of local businesses and sponsors.

Cultural Commitment and Vision

Thomas Mayer, central to the cultural aspect of KulturOn.at, emphasised the platform’s importance for regional cultural work: “Our goal is to celebrate and promote the cultural diversity of our region. Since the initial considerations in 2019, we have come a long way, and it is impressive to see how KulturOn.at has grown into a vibrant community.”

Platform Development and Digital Strategy

Alexander Petznek, responsible for the technical and strategic direction of the platform, explained: “Digital presence is more important than ever for the cultural sector today. With KulturOn.at, we offer a platform that not only increases the visibility of our cultural organisers but also establishes a direct connection to their audience. Our impressive user numbers show that we are on the right track.”

Event Organisation and Technical Implementation

Christoph Baumert, who contributes his expertise in event technology, spoke about future plans: “The event and gastronomy landscape has changed. We want to enrich the experience both on-site and online. By integrating video services and social media into our events, we are creating a new kind of cultural experience.”

Invitation to Cultural Professionals

Lukas Toth, as a representative of the artist community, encouraged other cultural professionals to become part of the platform: “KulturOn.at is more than just a platform; it is an opportunity for artists and organisers. We invite all cultural professionals to register or use the ticket sales service. As the band ‘Unerhört’, we have had very good experiences with it.”

Collaboration and Future Prospects

The expansion of the initiative is made possible by the support of five local companies – Brucker Energiepark, Bauder, Kampel Kran, Abfallservice Jüly, and Ileven. These partnerships not only provide the necessary financial support but also a vision for the future of the cultural landscape in the region.

Cultural Dialogue and Reflection:
Last but not least, Otto Havelka, a veteran of cultural journalism, will be featured with a column on KulturOn.at. His insightful reviews and comments on past events promise to enrich the cultural discourse in the region. “It is essential that we not only consume culture but also actively engage with it,” says Havelka. “I look forward to helping shape this process.”

The KulturOn.at team is available for any questions. The press conference can be viewed as a video at any time.
