On September 28, 2022, the City and Province of Salzburg, ORF Landesstudio Salzburg and Progress Werbung once again awarded prizes for the best cultural posters of the past year at the traditional Kulturplakatpreis ceremony. The Department of Fine Arts & Design of the Mozarteum University won 2nd place with its poster for the Tour 2022 "Jellybubble", which was endowed with 3000 euros. The poster was designed by Gerhard Andraschko-Sorgo, lecturer for visual design at the Mozarteum University and managing director of the design studio Linie3.
The department has two reasons to be happy. This year, Progress-Werbung Salzburg announced a trophy competition in which two designs by students of the Department of Fine Arts and Design at the Mozarteum University were selected. The trophy design "More than Paper" by Mario Plattner (Innsbruck location) was selected for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Culture Poster Award as well as for the best series and Clara Elixmann's design from Salzburg was selected as a trophy for the special format of the Culture Poster Award.

    Mozarteum stories – dialogue with the past 

    The Platform on Politics of the Past at the Mozarteum University Salzburg deals with cultures of remembrance from the 1920s to the 1990s. The critical reflection on the university's political past, especially during the periods of Austrofascism, National Socialism and the post-war era, plays just as important a role as art projects against forgetting and for greater awareness. Researchers are currently conducing a citizen research project that invites the local community to share relevant documents and contemporary accounts.

    New Supplementary Certificate: Art & Sustainability 

    Competence in sustainability is competence for the future. Artists and educators carry a great responsibility but also have great potential for not only reflecting on social change but also contributing to it. The start of academic year 2025/2026 brings with it the start of a new elective studies block in Art & Sustainability, for which students can obtain a supplementary certificate. It offers the chance to explore the complex relationship between sustainable developments in our university and society at large, and artistic and scholarly practice.
