The Kunsthalle Krems is the exhibition center for modern and contemporary art in Lower Austria. Its shows feature art after 1945 with a special focus on contemporary art production. Art classics, present-day art stars, and emerging artists from Austria and abroad present, in the generous former factory halls that have still retained some of their industrial air, innovative, cross-media, and topical socially relevant projects.

Through its annual collaboration with the Donaufestival, the Kunsthalle Krems emphasizes its interdisciplinary and progressive orientation.

In 2017 the Kunsthalle Krems will have access to the Dominican Church as an additional exhibition venue. This means that the Kunstmeile Krems will extend from the Steiner Tor to the Kremser Tor along Steiner Landstrasse. The focus is on spatial projects in a Gothic sacral architecture setting.
