Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts
Intensive workshops of between one and four weeks, dealing with topical questions of art production and directed by outstanding artists from all over the world – this is what awaits you at the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts.

Founded in 1953 by Oskar Kokoschka as the "School of Seeing", in Hohensalzburg Fortress, it is the oldest of its kind in Europe.
Every year, some 300 participants from more than 50 countries attend some 20 courses offered in two fixed locations: Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Untersberg quarry in Fürstenbrunn, as well as in further temporary spaces in the town of Salzburg.
Well-known artists, curators and critics from all over the world offer courses focusing on topical questions of art production, as well as curatorial practice and writing about art.

We would like to express our solidarity with Ukraine and the people who have to endure or flee from the ongoing war there. Therefore we open this program to Ukrainian artists as well and dedicate three fellowships to them.

ERSTE Foundation offers fourteen fellowships for young artists and emerging curators from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine to take part in a course of their choice at the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg 2023.

The fellowships are designed for artists and curators at the beginning of their careers and cover room and board, travel expenses, and the participation fee for the course. Furthermore, the participants will be given the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and their experience, reflect on their own work, develop new ideas, and get contacts on an international level.
