Lodz is one of the most important culture centers in Poland. This powerful nineteenth-century industrial metropolis once again becomes the fastest developing city in the country. The economic upsurge involves the cultural reviviscence. This is one of the reasons why our city proves to be prepared well enough to become the European Capital of Culture 2016.

Lodz does not only meet all the requirements essential to gain this title but can also boast about the characteristics which are fundamental for the European Capital of Culture program. Winning of this prestigious status would undoubtedly bring even more opportunities for development, and prove a watershed in the history of the city.

Lodz possesses an interesting and manifold cultural heritage, which is primarily embodied by the ample museum collections. The artistic output is probably best represented by the Lodz avant-garde as the group's activity influenced not only Poland but also the whole world.
Lodz is above all a city of festivals. The most influential are: Festival of Dialogue of Four Cultures, Camerimage and Łódź Biennale. Such international events as: Explorers Festival, Fotofestiwal - International Festival of Photography and Festival of Comics are also worth mentioning. Despite the already big amount of periodic cultural enterprises, each year new ones are inaugurated, usually dealing with film, modern art and music.
