KulturCommunity Basel

The KulturCommunity Basel initiative aims to make the cultural offerings in the canton of Basel more accessible. With the help of Basel institutions, cultural establishments and partners, it provides free offers that enable people in precarious living situations to take part in cultural experiences and meet others.

Experience culture together

«Go to a cultural event together» allows people to share experiences at Basel's cultural institutions (theater, music, dance, literature, etc.). The partners of the KulturCommunity provide their members with special offers for group visits or tandem visits with refugees, asylum seekers and those affected by poverty. 

As a partner, you will be informed regularly of each event via email. Ticket requests are accepted by email and tickets are sent via post to the respective partners to distribute to participants in a timely manner.

Good to know

Are you a non-profit organisation, an aid organisation or a coordination office that is active in Basel and provides your community with offers for cultural experiences in groups or in tandem? Please contact us if you would like us to consider adding you to the list free of charge.


Supplementary offer for social partner organizations: Request desired events

The KulturCommunity is committed to facilitating access to culture for as many people as possible. In addition to the targeted selection and procurement of event tickets, it is now possible for social partner institutions to submit their own requests for certain cultural events.
This supplementary offer is aimed at groups of ten or more people who would like to attend an event together.

Requirements for a request

  • The social partner organization makes a request at least one month before the event.
  • The group size must be at least ten people.
  • The desired event takes place in one of these cultural institutions.

Procedure

Please send us a short request with the following information:

  • desired event and date
  • Number of participants
  • Institution / contact person

We will check availability and get back to you as soon as possible.


Free offers for refugees, asylum seekers and people affected by poverty

For refugees and asylum seekers

A number of institutions and cultural establishments in Basel have free offers for refugees and asylum seekers. These offers are usually available to anyone with a residence permit with the N, F or B status and supplemental “refugee status” who lives in Basel city or the surrounding region. Please present your ID at the ticket office.

In Basel-Stadt, there are various non-profit organizations, aid organizations and coordination offices for people in precarious situations. Those affected can contact the partner institutions of the KulturCommunity in order to participate in cultural life thanks to the numerous offers.
