Office Ukraine was founded shortly after the beginning of the large-scale war of aggression against Ukraine by Russia for Ukrainian cultural workers at the beginning of March 2022.
The initiative serves as a platform for the coordination of diverse civil society and institutional initiatives and acts as a liaison between Austrian (art) institutions and cultural workers from Ukraine. The three offices in Vienna, Graz and Innsbruck have so far been contacted by
over 2,400 Ukrainian cultural workers. The primary intention of the initiative, which is financially supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport (BMKOES), is to enable refugee Ukrainian artists from all disciplines to work artistically in their respective fields here in Austria.
