Austrian Cultural Forum Washington

The Austrian Cultural Forum Washington (ACF DC) serves as a focal point to promote Austrian culture and art in the Washington DC metro area. By organizing a variety of cultural events (concerts, film screenings, exhibitions, theatre performances, lectures and panel discussions) throughout the year, we aim at encouraging cultural exchange between Austrian and American artists and its audiences.

The ACF Washington is at the same time the Cultural Section of the Austrian Embassy in Washington, DC and offers free admission to all of its events open to the public. It organizes, supports, initiates and facilitates about 40 events per year.

The ACF DC focuses on:

• Presenting contemporary artistic, cultural and scientific achievements from or about Austria in a broad range of disciplines
• Providing a platform for presentations of emerging young artists who have their life and career centered in Austria
• Creating interfaces and promoting interaction between Austrian, European and American cultural institutions and artists
• Acting as a forum for dialogue and discourse on relevant issues in culture and politics
