The Cultural Promotion Department promotes, advises and supports cultural institutions and artists in the city of Stuttgart. It ensures the diversity and quality of artistic creation in Stuttgart and strengthens local cultural players.

With a variety of programs, cultural promotion enables a wide range of target groups to participate in cultural life in Stuttgart. It promotes projects in new cultural spaces, Stuttgart music clubs or in public spaces and supports measures for organizational development - over and above continuous funding. With the help of innovation funds, the independent cultural scene can realize new projects in all artistic fields. The focus is on transparent and easy access to funding. Stuttgart's cultural institutions, artists and active citizens should be able to realize their ideas and shape urban life together.
