We are proud to announce that OFF Festival Katowice 2011 has been nominated in two categories for prestigious European Festival Awards – Line Up Of The Year (come on, wasn't it?!) and Best Medium Sized Festival.
Silesian, Asian, Turkish, and American cuisine, dining options for meat-eaters and vegetarians, and a variety of beverages: you’ll find food for the body as well as the soul at the OFF Festival.
Show up at the OFF Festival sporting an official festival t-shirt! We’re proud to announce that the distinguished illustrator and painter Marcin Maciejowski has granted us permission to use his painting “Girl Dancing On The Table” on a limited edition of festival merchandise.
Klopsztanga (from the German Klopfstange) is a word used in the Silesian dialect to describe a pipe frame on which carpets are hung for beating. Klopsztangi primarily served as gathering places that encouraged children’s imaginations to grow, helping them set off on trips much more interesting and distant than the ones offered by today’s travel agencies. The OFF Festival Katowice and Medusa Industry have decided to bring the klopsztanga back to the Silesian landscape. Join us on our mission!
