The Offene Kulturhaus Oberösterreich (OK), also known as the OK – Center for Contemporary Art, is a significant art institution located in Linz, Austria. It is operated by the Upper Austrian State Culture GmbH OÖLKG. The center serves as an exhibition and production house for contemporary art, focusing on installation and media art by mostly younger, internationally active artists, as well as performance art. It provides a total of 1800 m² of exhibition and production space.

Location and Facilities of the OK – Center for Contemporary Art

The OK – Center for Contemporary Art is conveniently located in the city center of Linz, adjacent to the Ursulinenhof and the Passage shopping center. The same building also houses the Moviemento program cinema, a popular spot for film enthusiasts. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the gastronomy businesses housed in the same building, namely the Gelbes Krokodil restaurant, known for its regional and vegetarian dishes, and the Solaris bar, a popular meeting spot.

Exhibitions at the OK – Center for Contemporary Art
