All participating spaces collectively invite visitors to explore a multitude of freely accessible exhibitions, combined with a dense program of special events and exhibition openings. 

Many of the exhibitions will remain on display after the festival.

This format creates a yearly snapshot of a diverse scene, and provides a unique opportunity to experience it in an intimate manner, at the locations directly involved with artistic production.

Independent Space Index is an initiative of Viennese independent spaces, aimed at increasing the visibility of independent artistic production, strengthening solidarity among like-minded cultural initiatives, and highlighting their contribution. The network and its festival have been the largest joint endeavour of independent art spaces in Vienna since its founding and first festival edition in 2018.
