PARIS 2024 CULTURAL OLYMPIAD

what is the cultural olympiad?

Cultural Olympiad is an original project that explores the relationship between art and athletics, including the values they share of excellence, inclusion, cultural diversity and universalism.

Between now and September 2024, large gatherings featuring artistic works will take place across towns and cities in France to spur conversations about sport and culture.

Thousands of events and artistic performances covering a wide range of disciplines will be organised, allowing the public to realise the common values shared between sport and art, how art enlightens sport and how Olympic values can inspire artists.

“Cultural Olympiad is a programme that will allow the Host Country of the Games to connect sport and culture across its territories," said Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024. “Hundreds of projects across the whole of France have the label of Cultural Olympiad thanks to this beautiful and collaborative work. Together, we will make the 'Games Wide Open' and millions of will experience incredible emotions thanks to sport and culture.”
