Femous – platform for famous female culture / be part of it!


a short history

Founded in 2011, in occasion of the centenary of the international women’s day, femous presented throughout Austria more than 100 cultural events from march to september 2011. Femous also created an intercultural female musicians pool – the femous orchestra.
2011 highlights were certainly the vibrant one-day-only festival „a femous centenary night “in march, the artistic co-operations of the femous orchestra with Donaufestival and Ars Electronica, the networking with outstanding festivals like Jazzfest Wien, PopFest or the associated curatorship of “Wir sind Wien”. The inauguration of the femous youth award fm4/planet.tt stage at the Viennese Donauinselfest is a step into the future.


What we do

femous shows that outstanding women are no longer an exception. Based on a concept of active cultural diversity, femous is working on a huge network that encompasses the wide range of female creativity, focusing on global advanced pop, jazz, world music, electronic sound art or DJ culture. femous addresses to people of any sex - female, male and transgender-, any ethnic and social background, and any age and thus shapes social sculptures through the cultural work of women.
As immediately recognizable seal of quality, femous highlights outstanding female acts by including them in the femous web-platform. femous makes the diversity of female creative work visible through intensive PR, web 2.0 promotion, media cooperation’s and active networking.
