The Brno cultural newsletter brings you an overview of summer events and opportunities in the near future concerning theatres, clubs, festivals and cultural events in Brno.
Dear fans of Brno culture,
Praise the summer, and the Brno summer doubly so. There's a lot to take in - from theatre stages to music and dance festivals and even summer cinemas. For all this, the organisers and performers deserve a big thank you. Because this makes Brno Brno, with its varied range of programmes that makes the summer holidays more pleasant for both locals and visitors alike, with the latter maybe coming back next year.
At their June meeting, the councillors approved Action Plan No. 2 for the period of 2023 - 2025 based on the Strategy for Culture and Creative Sectors of the City of Brno with all suggestions incorporated. The day after, on 21 June, the XVI Brno Cultural Forum took place, and if you were unable to attend, the staff of the Department of Culture have prepared a recording of the meeting for you. And you, in your own organisation, can already think about the theme of the 17th one, which will focus on how to break down barriers and make culture even more accessible to disadvantaged groups.
What I am really happy about is the opening of the ZET9 rehearsal rooms and studios in the Líšeň quarter of the city, which can be used by artists or craftspeople for the next three years. It is a unique pilot project of the city and CTP, which is gradually revitalising the industrial area and one of the buildings intended for future demolition, offering it to be used as a necessary (and lacking) facility for as yet non-established culture. If ZET9 proves to be successful, I believe it will become an inspiration for other similar and especially longer-term projects.
Have a pleasant and peaceful summer,
Markéta Vaňková
Mayor of Brno
FROM US TO YOU
The board approved action plan No. 2 of the Strategy for Culture and Creative Sectors 2023– 2025
Action Plan No. 2 for the period 2023 - 2025, which is based on the Strategy for Culture and Creative Sectors of the City of Brno, was approved by the councillors on 20.6.2023. The new action plan contains a total of 22 activities placed into three groups. Culture thus has a "timetable" for the next 3 years. New issues such as the accessibility of culture or cultural and creative education are addressed. It is also important to strengthen the cultural infrastructure and projects such as (GET)TO IT!

Looking back at the XVI Brno Cultural Forum
On 21.6.2023, the XVI Brno Cultural Forum was held at the Brno Exhibition Centre in the Morava Pavilion. If you couldn't make it in June and are interested in what was discussed at the forum on the topic of cultural infrastructure, don't despair, we have a recording of the whole afternoon for you.
Culture accessible to all
As part of the new Action Plan No.2 of the Culture and Creative Sectors Strategy 2023-2025, we will also address the accessibility of culture for disadvantaged groups. We are therefore planning the Autumn Brno Cultural Forum on this topic, focusing on how to make culture accessible to ethnic minorities and foreigners, people with sensory or physical disabilities, people with social problems and people with mental illnesses.
At the same time, we are preparing a catalogue of cultural events for the above-mentioned groups.
Are you involved in organising an activity or event for one of the above groups and want to be more visible? Write to us at kultura@brno.cz
