We hope that many people will visit the Weimar Art Festival and feel comfortable and safe there—regardless of gender, sexual orientation, religion, social background, or disability.

On the event pages, you will find information on specific accessibility measures.

Wheelchair Access

Many events are accessible to people with limited mobility and feature accessible restrooms. Feel free to use the »Wheelchair-accessible« filter in the event calendar to view specific events.
At → this page, you’ll also find detailed information about the physical conditions and potential barriers at each venue.

For events marked »Wheelchair-accessible seating« please register by calling → +49 (0) 3643 – 755 334. Events marked »Wheelchair-accessible« can be attended without any special arrangements.

Assistance dog

Visitors who would like to attend the festival with an assistance dog are asked to notify us in advance at → besuch@kunstfest-weimar.de so that we can make the best possible arrangements for your visit.

Audio and Language

Selected events are translated into → German Sign Language, provided with German and English subtitles, or are presented without spoken language.

We also provide selected content in → Easy Read and, soon, in → German Sign Language.

For selected events, seats with induction loops or portable induction loops are available for people with hearing impairments. You can find information about this in the respective event descriptions and as a filter option in the calendar.
For events marked »Induction Loop« please register by calling → +49 (0) 3643 – 755 334.

The event on August 26, → Frei_Spiel X – Das große Ganze will be offered with audio description.
For interested visitors, a tactile tour will also be offered before the event on August 26. It begins at 6:45 p.m., and the meeting point is the foyer of the Redoute.
Please register for the audio description and the guided tour at → besuch@kunstfest-weimar.de.
All the key information about the event and the tactile tour is also available in an audio flyer (in German).

Content and Sensory Stimuli

Details and information about sensory stimuli and content-related notes can be found on the individual event pages.

Unfortunately, we are not yet able to provide quiet rooms at the Kunstfest. At some events – such as → Gratte Ciel: RoZéO in the Ilmpark Weimar – it is, however, perfectly possible to leave the venue for a while and return later.

Responsibility

We are constantly working to break down barriers. However, there are currently events and venues that are not fully accessible to everyone.

Discriminatory or inappropriate behavior is incompatible with the values of the Kunstfest Weimar. At the same time, we recognize that such situations can still arise. We do not currently have an awareness team; however, we are working to establish appropriate structures in the future.

If you have any questions or would like to report barriers, please feel free to contact us at → besuch@kunstfest-weimar.de. On-site, you can contact our team at any time if you need assistance.
