Announcement: Call-out for guest events at FORUM STADTPARK

From February to April 2027, FORUM STADTPARK will once again be reserving its rooms specifically for guest events and collaborations. Please submit your proposals by April 10!

Announcement: Call-out for guest events at FORUM STADTPARK

FORUM STADTPARK is an artists' association in Graz's Stadtpark. We design and produce most of the program ourselves. However, guest events and collaborations also take place here, with other institutions or artists using the premises for their own projects.

To make everything clearer and more transparent, we have once again reserved the months of February to the end of April for guest formats in 2027. You are welcome to suggest projects to us, including more extensive formats such as exhibitions, performances, or workshops. We look forward to receiving your suggestions!

These are our rooms

  • Large, bright room on the ground floor (approx. 170 m²)
  • Music cellar (black box with sound system, approx. 95 m²)
  • Smaller event room (approx. 80 m²) with terrace and adjacent kitchen on the upper floor – each with appropriate equipment.


These are the conditions

  • FORUM STADTPARK is a space for art, culture, and discourse. It hosts a wide variety of events: exhibitions, performances, music, readings, conferences, lectures, festivals, work labs, workshops, and much more.
  • Experimental formats and ideas are very welcome!
  • Initiatives and artists who have not yet organized many events are also very welcome to submit proposals. People with roots outside Austria and beyond traditional gender norms are particularly welcome, as are people with disabilities.
  • Unfortunately, we do not have the financial resources to cover the production costs (fees, travel expenses, accommodation) of guest events. We cannot finance your project.
  • However, we host a project at one ore more spaces at FORUM STADTPARK and can provide the following: technical equipment, technical support, bar, cleaning, security, insurance, coordination, and co-promotion.
  • If you need help with applying your project to the Austrian funding bodies, let us know!
  • We organize collaborations at FORUM on the basis of a principle of solidarity: if a project has substential funding/subsidies (or intends to apply for them), we are happy to receive a contribution towards our expenses. This currently amounts to EUR 400 per day for the smaller rooms and EUR 700 per day (net) for the large room.
  • If someone has fewer funds available, we are happy to make our rooms available free of charge. However, we ask for your understanding that we can only do this for a certain number of projects per year.
  • Projects that are primarily commercially oriented and do not fit in with the orientation of the venue cannot take place here.

  • If you are interested, please send us a short, informal description of your project and some information about yourselves, which rooms you need for how long, and what your financial resources are.
  • We will decide collectively with the program forum whether a project can take place at FORUM. Unfortunately, we can only accept a limited number of projects. Thank you for your understanding!
  • Floor plans and photos of the various rooms can be found here.
  • Deadline for proposals: April 10, 2026
  • Notification until: May 5, 2026
  • Email to: vorstand@forumstadtpark.at


    Of course, it is still possible to propose projects for FORUM STADTPARK outside of this invitation, especially with regard to one-day events. However, proposals submitted to us by this deadline will be given priority.
