Dear FIFTITU% members! Dear friends!

We are contacting you to inform you that the extremely precarious situation of FIFTITU% - Networking Agency for Women* in Art and Culture has now grown into an existential problem.

FIFTITU% has been working for almost two decades to improve the conditions for women* in the arts and culture sector and is the only platform of its kind, not only in Upper Austria, but nationwide.

Our activities include cultural and women's political work, national and international networking in this field and various artistic projects in and on this topic, as well as concrete advice and support for artists and cultural workers. This is also perceived and utilized as an important service.
