The International Visitors Programme, hosted by NRW KULTURsekretariat, is an enriching networking initiative supported by the Ministry of Culture of North Rhine-Westphalia. Since its inception in 2009, the programme has been a catalyst for connecting cultural specialists globally with the vibrant arts scene in NRW.

Welcoming over 100 distinguished guests annually from 50+ countries in NRW, our programmes are dedicated to diverse artistic realms such as dance, performance, theatre, music, film or the visual arts. Beyond cultural exchange, the International Visitors Programme is committed to cultivating a global network for cultural relations, fostering intercultural collaboration, and exploring ways to make these connections accessible to all.
