What is the Cultural Olympiad?

The Cultural Olympiad is a requirement of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that each of the organisation committees has to deliver.

It is a multidisciplinary artistic and cultural programme, taking place from the end of the previous Games until the conclusion of the Paralympic Games.

For Paris 2024, this event will occur across all territories wishing to participate in the Olympic and Paralympic adventure.

Three seasons will enrich the emotions of sport with those of artistic creation.

Artists, cultural institutions, and participants from the sporting world are encouraged to apply to be part of this unprecedented programme, which seeks to facilitate a dialogue between sports and the arts, exploring their shared values of universalism, inclusivity, cultural diversity, and excellence.
