Culture Podujevo's residents have shown a high interest to contribute for culture, although they did not have the proper conditions to participate. In fact, the requirements for fulfillment of various cultural and art projects are higher in comparison with the conditions offered by the Management of Culture, Youth and Sport. The lack of space and adequate infrastructure have impacted the development of cultural life. A number of organizations and artistic associations focused on drama, comedy, sporting competitions and other cultural activities are located in Podujevo. These activities are organized in the city theater, sport hall with only 800 seats, city stadium, and city library, though there is insufficient space. The city theater has been the most common place of several cultural activities and exhibitions, which has become popular in Podujevo and elsewhere. It was established in 1994. To date, it is the city's most successful artistic institution with major events taking place throughout the year. The dancing ensemble called “The Downtown Dancers”, founded in 2002, are an important part of the cultural life in Podujevo. The group performs traditional folk dances and modern dances. The ensemble has performed internationally along with some folk festivals in Kosovo, and has 50 members.
