To every age its art – to art its freedom
Contemporary art production and education have undergone a decades-long dynamic development in Graz and Styria, resulting in international renown and representing one of the main factors behind the great quality of life in the region and contributing to the cultural identity of the province and the city.
As an international company, our aim is not only to sustain, but also to boost the diversity and quality of contemporary art production in the long term. This is why the partnership with steirischer herbst as a leading contemporary multi-genre festival is so important to us.

It is a matter of great concern to Mercedes-Benz Austria to take on social responsibility. For this reason, the company supports cultural institutions and sports events along with social projects.

The “AVL Cultural Foundation” was founded to promote dialogue and shared knowledge between art and science. Similar to the way in which artists see and interpret the world and reflect this vision back to us, the engineering community reacts to the human condition with technical solutions and creative visions for a healthier environment, thus building a bridge between science and art.

Time and again, steirischer herbst has re-invented itself throughout its exciting history. It presents developments, supports current artistic working methods, and enables a wide range of discourses. Artistic representations and contents have encouraged discussion about politics and society since its foundation. A similar idea applies, if at a different level, to Holding Graz as a comprehensive service provider. Whether it's in public transport, in the “Oyster”, on the Schöckl mountain, in drinking water, waste water disposal, urban space, free wifi in many places around the city, promoting e-mobility or waste recycling: as municipal service providers, we work every day to increase the quality of life in our provincial capital even further.
Steirischer Verband Selbständig Wirtschaftstreibender, the Styrian Association of Self-Employed Entrepreneurs, is a proud partner of steirischer herbst.
