50 Years of Fine Arts & Design

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Department of Fine Arts and Design at the Mozarteum Salzburg, a festival celebrates five decades of artistic practice and education. The program bridges past and present with exhibitions that highlight current positions and historical connections: "Out of the Blue" shows how ideas in the Technology & Design program take shape, while "SCHICHTEN" at the Salzburg Art Association presents works by Sophie Gander, Clara Grabner, Jennifer Klein, Anna Lackner, and Leijla Tabaković. The exhibition "be fifty – BE50" at the Stadtgalerie Lehen explores the connections between the Department and the Salzburg art scene.

A symposium under the motto "Looking back and looking forward" focuses on the development of art and design education and its societal perspectives. The festival is rounded off by the film presentation "Augenreisen" about Peter Prandstetter, the first professor of painting and graphics at the Mozarteum. The festival invites visitors to discover the diversity of fine arts and design and to reflect together on their future.
