CaP.CULT, it's us: Carina Kurta & Pia Leydolt-Fuchs. Our mission statement: culture as a key element in strategies for urban and regional development. 

The presence and quality of cultural activities is a major factor of attractiveness of a city and a measure of quality of living.
Culture also means architecture and cultural heritage which is focused by city tourism. The presence and development of contemporary cultural and creative industries has an important impact on the dynamics of a city and the economic value of a city and a region.

We consider culture as a vital point in societies, bringing people together to participate in arts and culture. Culture also enhances intercultural dialogue, supports social cohesion and leads to social innovation.

As an agency specialized in mediation for European Capitals of Culture, architecture and urban development we discuss cities in the process of development via culture. 

Our work is focused on the interest of architects, urban planners, delegations from economic, political and cultural sectors, universities and schools, (potential) cities bidding for ECOC and individual clients.

We offer profound and diversified insights into cities via lectures and presentations, study tours consulting, individual city tours and meetings with local project managers to expand horizons together with you, discover new dimensions, reflect habits, develop ideas, learn from others and to hand over own know-how and experience!

Pia Leydolt-Fuchs & Carina Kurta

Mediation for European Capitals of Culture, architecture and urban development - that means discovery of various European cultural centres, accompanied and organised by experts. 

We, Pia Leydolt-Fuchs and Carina Kurta, both former team member in several European Capital of Culture-Organisations (Linz09 and Istanbul 2010), have experienced Capitals of Culture first-hand since 2013: 
We are providing in-depth and exciting insights into the successful project of the European Union, the local architectural and culture scene as well as urban development of European cities.

Acting as the (missing) link between the official ECOC-organisation and visitors, we are offering the discovery of cities by means of individual circuits, personally assisted cultural programmes (for one or several days – off the beaten track), workshops, lectures and presentations and meetings with local culture project managers, stakeholders and city planners!

Our aim is to help navigate through the cultural and architectural diversity of European Capitals of Culture and their regions. We act as personal attendance and contact person for private individuals, groups, school and student excursions as well as for (potential) Capital of Culture candidate cities and delegations of economic, political and cultural sectors.
