Bad Ischl, Bodø and Tartu
2024 European Capitals of Culture in Austria, Norway (EFTA/EEA country) and Estonia.
Bad Ischl
Under the leadership of the title-holder Bad Ischl, 23 municipalities in the rural inner Alpine region of Salzkammergut joined forces to implement a comprehensive and multi-layered programme under the banner “23 for 24”.
Bodø
Bodø hosted the northernmost European Capital of Culture ever, placing the title in the Arctic for the first time. The entire region of Nordland was involved in the project, under the title “Arcticulation”.
Tartu
The theme of Tartu’s programme was “Arts of Survival”, and it centred around creating a nature-friendly cultural city that also aims to restore trust in human closeness and show the power of Europe’s smaller cities.
