When to go where
Sean Dodson
The Guardian Saturday August 25 2007

What's missing is a little culture. A site like Culture Kiosque (culturekiosque.com/travel), which sets out a calendar of events across the world, would need to be attached to information about crowds and climate to make up the site of our dreams. On its own, the site is excellent, perhaps the only place in the world that places Bjork's concert in an amphitheatre in Nîmes next to the WWE Smackdown! in Paris next month. The Kiosque also has news of foreign festivals...

Toronto, Ontario

The Globe And Mail Toronto 8 January 2003

"Another good source of event information is culturekiosque.com, which bills itself as "The European Guide to Arts, Culture and Entertainment Worldwide" (though its content is focused primarily on North America and Europe). The site is divided into six distinct sections, including art and archeology, dance and opera, but it's the world event calendar that keeps in-the-know globetrotters informed of key cultural happenings in major cities. The calendar listings provide overviews of events and links to other sources of information."

The New York Times 16 June 2002

"For those with international travel plans, Culturekiosque.com [is a] good alternative.... The site's calendar, which covers North America and Europe, makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. Culturekiosque editors and contributors update its reviews and listings daily, conferring stars on outstanding events."

CULTURE

Was den User auf dieser Site erwartet, das kann sich wirklich sehen lassen. Die ganze Welt des Films, der Musik und des Tanzes auf hervorragend gestalteten und übersichtlich präsentierten Seiten. Wer der nächste Oscarpreisträger wird, mag noch in den Sternen stehen. Culturekiosque wagt schon mal eine Prognose mit teils überraschenden Vermutungen. Aber auch Klassikfans kommen nicht zu kurz. Der nächste Opernabend dürfte gerettet sein.

Best of Web été 2001 Best of Web Magazine Summer 2001: Paris, France

The Sunday Times of London 7 January 2001

" ...Sites such as these prove that the web can accommodate lofty cultural aims... the multi-award-winning, if somewhat arch, Culture Kiosque (www.culturekiosque.com) also offers a selection of subsidiary magazines devoted to society and the arts. Essays outlining how procedures in the most intellectually boring election in American history conceal an insidious acceptance of censorship, nestle alongside pieces as diverse as the subject of swing under the Nazis, and a paean to the braised heart of lettuce, much neglected in British cookery. Which is criminal, apparently."

Brill's Content, April 2000 Best of the Web: Diversions

"...[Culturekiosque's] European sensibility transports you to a smoky café on Paris's Left Bank. The e-zine, which uses spare design, dark colors, and simple fonts, offers Cultural Coverage of Europe and North America. There's a mix of listings information and feature stories, so you can read a review of the recent Honoré Daumier exhibit at Paris's Grand Palais or check on the closing date of the Jasper Johns exhibit at the Yale University Art Gallery.

The real treasures are the stories about emerging bands and artists in Europe, such as the December profile by Time magazine writer Bruce Crumley of the French music group Zebda, which draws on various musical styles and influences. Culturekiosque's editors and contributors represent a broad range of publications, including the International Herald Tribune, The Wall Street Journal Europe, the German daily Handelsblatt, France's Le Monde newspaper, and Britain's Financial Times."
