On November 3, the highly endowed Ö1 Talent Scholarship for Visual Arts was awarded at the Leopold Museum. The audience award of Ö1 listeners went to Angelika Wienerroither, who studies photography and painting at the Department of Fine Arts and Design. She wins a free participation in the "Artist Statement" at Parallel Vienna 2023.
Once a year, students of visual education are invited to perform in the Great Hall of the Salzburg Künstlerhaus. This close relationship between an art association and students in the experimental phase is unique in Austria - and a challenge for the students.
How can (body) boundaries be overcome and what has one's own body not yet learned? Ten students of the teacher training programme "Design: Technology.Textiles" are exploring these questions in an exhibition at the Bauhaus Museum Dessau.
Peter Schreiner, Senior Lecturer for Photography & New Media at the Department of Fine Arts and Design, will be awarded the Annual Scholarship for Photography in 2023. The scholarship is awarded annually by the province of Salzburg and has been endowed with Euro 12,000 since 2023.
The Ö1 Talent Scholarship for Fine Arts in the amount of 10,000 euros, provided by Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein, is being offered by Ö1 for the 17th time this year. The prize serves to promote young talent among students at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the University of Art and Design Linz, the Mozarteum University Salzburg and the University of Art and Design Graz. A special prize on the theme of "Solidarity" is also awarded.
The State of Salzburg/Department for Art and Culture is again awarding scholarships (in the amount of the course fee) for attending the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts from 22 July to 31 August 2024.
Great success for the Mozarteum University: The FWF (Austrian Science Fund) is funding the project ‘Aesthetic judgement in community’ by Iris Laner with 485,430 euros. The individual project is dedicated to the role of the community in art education theory, school practice and education policy and is being carried out in collaboration with partners from the universities in Cologne, Siegen, London and Pretoria.
The artist and art pedagogue Ao. Univ.-Prof. MMag. Bernhard Gwiggner has been awarded the 2025 Ars Docendi prize for teaching excellence by the Austrian state. The interdisciplinary cooperation "tradition2go: zwischen kultur und wahnsinn" ("between culture and madness") was a collaboration during the 2023/34 academic year between the Sculpture Class at the Mozarteum University and the Salzburg Museum. The project went hand in hand with the exhibition "Masks, Traditional Costumes, Cult Objects - 100 Years of Folk Culture" at the Salzburger Monatsschlössl Hellbrunn.
The interdisciplinary teacher training programmes in art & design and technology & design have not only been given new names, but also a new focus in terms of content.
The annual conference of the Austrian Society for Musicology will take place at the Mozarteum University from 17-19 October 2024. It will focus on and discuss music-related phenomena that are related to ideas of democracy and democratic principles.
Music and Sound Beyond the Human: This conference aims to contribute to this ongoing development, and to put special emphasis on the ethical and political dimensions that come into play in regard of other-than-human creativity and aesthetics. Submissions from all musicological (sub-)disciplines are welcome, as well as from the music-related domains in neighboring scholarly and scientific disciplines and in interdisciplinary fields like human-animal studies, critical animal studies, critical plant studies, multispecies ethnography, and AI music studies.
The handbook compiled by the inter-university research initiative ‘Music and Migration’ Wolfgang Gratzer / Nils Grosch / Ulrike Präger / Susanne Scheiblhofer (eds.), ‘The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration: Methodologies and Theories’, Routledge 2024
has just been nominated for the prestigious 2025 Award of the American Musicological Society.
