Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts

Intensive workshops on current issues of art production with outstanding artists from all over the world lasting two to three weeks - that's what you can expect.

The Summer Academy presents the current course programme entitled Diversity of the Future. Here, spaces are opened up to provide teachers and students with a place where they can devote themselves fully to their diverse artistic work and thinking.

A total of around 100 scholarships are awarded each year. The Summer Academy offers numerous scholarships, most of them covering the participation fee, while some also include travel and accommodation expenses. For online submission and further details, please see here.

Scholarship applications until 1 April 2025.

The association was founded in 2001 with the aim of keeping the Summer Academy alive as an international venue for artistic participation and cultural encounters in Salzburg. Every year, the Society of Friends awards scholarships for participation in the diverse course programme. Most recently, a jury of experts selected 45 students from 300 participants. The Summer Academy's scholarship programme is unique in this way and allows the Summer Academy to continue its almost 70-year tradition at a high international level.
