SCHWABACH ART FESTIVAL – ortung 11.

From 3 to 18 August 2019 in Schwabach Old Town

TAKING ART TO NEW PLACES

ortung is an art competition of places and spaces, captivating the entire city of Schwabach. For two weeks, ortung disrupts everyday urban life and claims all kinds of locales for artistic
discourse: public places, storefronts and backyards, attics and vaults.
Since 1999, the well-attended biennial arts festival has become a public success and celebrates its eleventh anniversary in
2019. For ortung11. the city of Schwabach is therefore looking forward to many exceptionally audacious, inspirational and surprising submissions and projects!
