OKH - Offenes Kulturhaus Vöcklabruck

The OKH - Offene Kulturhaus Vöcklabruck has been a regional cultural provider since 2012 and at the same time a space of opportunity for future models. The cultural exchange and the diversity of contemporary art form a piece of "urban island" with an anchor function on the Vöckla. Supra-regional impulses are set on the site of the old hospital - supported, revitalised and further developed by the charitable commitment of many.

The OKH is organised by the "Kunst- und Kulturhaus Vöcklabruck" association, which was founded in 2007 with the aim of creating a cultural presentation and production centre in Vöcklabruck. Its continuous programme has established the OKH as a lively cultural venue between Linz and Salzburg and has since opened up access to contemporary culture that would not exist in this form in the greater Vöcklabruck area.
Following the arrival of the "YouX" youth centre in spring 2015 and the OTELO (Open Technology Laboratory) in autumn 2017, the range of topics in the building has been expanded to include social and youth work and open workshops. In addition to artistic presentations and encounters, production and playful learning are now united under one roof.
