Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts
Call for applications
About the 2015 Summer Academy programme: 'The production of meaning' is the motto of this year's International Summer Academy course programme. We ask about the sense of our (individual or social) conduct, and how meaning can be produced with artistic (critical and curatorial) resources. Many artists are working on this and related themes in very different ways, attempting, to put it simplistically, to understand and represent the world we live in, producing a multiplicity of meanings and opening the way for different interpretations. The Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts, founded in 1953 by Oskar Kokoschka as the 'School of Vision' in Hohensalzburg Fortress, is the oldest of its kind in Europe. Every year, some 300 participants from more than 40 countries attend some 20 courses.All prospective participants must apply for acceptance. On the basis of the submitted dossier, the teaching artists select participants. The fees are between 440 and 1,160 euro, depending on the duration of the course. Students are entitled to a reduced fee. All applications received by 15 May will be treated equally. Later applications are welcome, and will be processed in the order received, according to vacancies in the courses.
