Cultural Olympiad
What is the Cultural Olympiad?
The Cultural Olympiad is a multidisciplinary artistic and cultural programme that unfolds from the end of the previous Games to the end of the following Paralympic Games. Paris 2024, in other words, has three seasons to add artistic creation to sports thrills and chills.
The Cultural Olympiad is an original programme to explore the connections between art and athletics, and the values they share excellence, inclusion, cultural diversity and universalism for instance.
It brings culture into sports venues and unexpected places. From summer 2022 to September 2024, several large gatherings will feature artistic creation to spur conversations between sport and culture in all the towns and cities that wish to be part of this adventure.
The Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad: a one-of-a-kind programme combining artistic practice and sporting culture
Artists, cultural institutions and organisations in the sporting movement can apply to be part of this all-new programme.
