The Vienna Augarten becomes an "OPEN AIR" gallery this summer
In the middle of the expansive area of Vienna's Augarten, a new meeting place for art and culinary enthusiasts will open on Wednesday, June 25, 2025: the summer pop-up "FREILUFT". Initiated by Paul Rittenauer and curated by Danielle Spera, the project invites you to experience contemporary art, stylish cuisine, and a diverse cultural program under the open sky until August 31, 2025.
"'FREILUFT' stands for everything that makes a successful summer in Vienna: art, good food, and shared experiences in a relaxed atmosphere. We create an open space where creativity, enjoyment, and encounters naturally come together – in the middle of greenery, in the middle of the city," announces initiator Paul Rittenauer .
Free Open-Air Exhibition in Vienna's Augarten
The centerpiece of the opening is a curated open-air exhibition featuring sculptures and installations by a total of 18 artists – including Stylianos Schicho, Lisa Grosskopf, and Billi Thanner. The works are freely accessible daily and transform the park into an open exhibition space with artistic depth.
