NEU CÖLN is an independent, interdisciplinary festival bringing together contemporary art, literature, music and discourse.

Conceived as a space for encounters across artistic disciplines, the festival combines an exhibition with performances, concerts, readings, talks and screenings. NEU CÖLN aims to create a setting for intellectual exchange, shared experiences and new connections between artists, audiences and different cultural communities.

The second edition takes place from November 5–8, 2026, coinciding with Art Cologne, at the former Heilig Kreuz Monastery in central Cologne. An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, November 4.
