TodaysArt is the annual international festival for Art, Music and Technology in The Hague, Netherlands.

Each year in the end of September, the festival offers a programme at 20 venues (in- and outdoor) in the city centre with more than 200 artists from over 25 countries, all presenting their creative vision about what Art is Today in terms of music, video and visual arts, film, photography, fashion, performing arts, theatre, contemporary dance and other disciplines and crossovers.

Unique and custom-made productions and performances by the world's most creative artists can be expected at this 3 nights lasting annual festival.

TodaysArt works closely together with partners such as Club Transmediale from Berlin - Germany, Mutek from Montreal - Canada, DEAF from Rotterdam - The Netherlands and Wasted festival from Berlin - Germany.

TodaysArt festival originated from a pilot-festival called Sound/Vision, held on the Malieveld in The Hague on the hot summer day of July 27, 2002. Due to problems with the local council regarding noise nuisance, further editions of Sound/Vision were not organised in the future. The organisation of the pilot outdoor festival Sound/Vision, The Generator Foundation, started to focus towards the organisation of an indoor multidisciplinary festival in close cooperation with various cultural locations and sites in the city centre of The Hague.

In September 2003 the first edition of the Cultuurnacht was being held on Saturday the 20th of September 2003 and an immediate success. With a diverse program, amongst 5.000 visitors enjoyed the first edition. Saturday the 25th of September the 2nd edition of Cultuurnacht took place and the growth of locations, acts, artistic inspiration and visitors was evident.
