Ruhrtriennale Freundeskreis & Club.Ruhr

© Daniel Sadrowski

The Society of Friends and Supporters of the Ruhrtriennale is distinguished by its special passion for the Ruhrtriennale that can felt far beyond the society as a result of the personal engagement of every single member. It is a body that shares the ideals of the festival and provides financial support. Its collective contribution does not stop with the significant support the society contributes towards financing selected productions: its activities on behalf of young audiences and the contributions made by every single member to making the Ruhrtriennale programme more widely known are key aims of the society.

Club.Ruhr

The Club.Ruhr is the young Freundeskreis of the Ruhrtriennale. The members experience the festival together every year and take a look behind the scenes. In addition, Club.Ruhr also meets outside the festival for excursions to events and explores the cultural institutions in the region together. Club.Ruhr is open to anyone between 18 and 35 who is interested in participating in cultural activities together - regardless of whether you are studying, working or doing an apprenticeship!

You can find more information about the activities of Club.Ruhr here.
You can reach Club.Ruhr at the e-mail address club.ruhr@ruhrtriennale.de.
