IMAGINE! 2025 in Leipzig has been saved

Dear supporters,

Today, we are delighted to share some wonderful news with you:
 
👉 IMAGINE! 2025 in Leipzig has been saved.
 
This means we can bring our fundraising campaign to a close – at least for now.
Thanks to an emergency funding application, we have now been granted support from the City of Leipzig. This secures the remaining funds needed for the festival (for the time being).
The final decision will only be made when the city budget is approved at the end of September – but we are looking to the future with confidence.

We could never have done this without you.
Your donations, your messages, your support – you’ve had our backs and shown the city how important this festival is.

Now, IMAGINE! 2025 can truly unfold in all its glory.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our events – whether at the GRASSI Museum, Café Terra, Theatre of the Young World or Budde-Haus – you are warmly invited. 

Thank you for walking this path with us. And thank you for staying by our side. 

Warm regards from the entire IMAGINE! team, and especially from
Maria Carmela Marinelli & Patrick Niegsch
(Festival Directors, Leipzig)
