Under the artistic direction of Britta Peters, she initiates exhibition projects for specific places and situations, programs for guest artists and the experimental Grand Snail Tour through the region.

In addition to Ruhrtriennale, Tanzlandschaft Ruhr and Chorwerk Ruhr, Urbane Künste Ruhr is part of the Kultur Ruhr GmbH with its headquarters in Bochum, whose shareholders and public sponsors are the Land Nordrhein-Westfalen and the Regionalverband Ruhr. .
