The Salzburger Kunstverein is a contemporary art organisation that specialises in art exhibitions. It is located in Salzburg, Austria, and is housed in the Künstlerhaus, which was built in 1885. The Salzburger Kunstverein organizes between ten and twelve exhibitions of international and Austrian artists annually. The Director since July 2023 is Mirela Baciak.[2]

History

The Salzburger Kunstverein was founded on March 10, 1844. It was one of the first of such institutions in Austria. According to its founding principles, its aim is "to awaken love for art and educate a sense for art". In 1885 the "Künstlerhaus", which to this day houses studios and exhibition areas, was built and is still the Kunstverein's headquarters today.[3]

Since 1992 the program has been elaborated and organised by the respective director (1992 Hildegund Amanshauser,1993-1995 Silvia Eiblmayr, 1996-2004 Hildegund Amanshauser, 2005-2013 Hemma Schmutz, 2014-03/2023 Séamus Kealy, since 07/2023 Mirela Baciak) and aims to meet international standards. By means of exhibitions, symposia, lectures, workshops or networking projects with other institutions the concept aspires to discover new forms of promoting art.[3]

In 2008 the Salzburger Kunstverein was awarded the ADKV-ART COLOGNE Price (together with the Westfälischer Kunstverein Münster) for its "excellent exhibition making and art education".[4]
