ERSTE Foundation offers fourteen fellowships for young artists and emerging curators from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine to take part in a course of their choice at the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg 2024.

We would like to express our solidarity with Ukraine and the people who have to endure or flee from the ongoing war there. Therefore, we open this program to Ukrainian artists as well and dedicate two fellowships to them. 

Every summer some 300 students from more than 50 countries participate in over 20 classes at the Salzburg Summer Academy. Well-known artists, curators and critics from all over the world offer courses focusing on topical questions of art production, as well as curatorial practice and writing about art.

The participants can choose from various courses taking place at Salzburg Summer Academy between 22 July – 31 August 2024.
