Evaluation winners

How important was your participation in a course at the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts? Has it had long term effects? Are networks formed here still operating? We put these questions to more than 1,000 former students and teachers from the summers of 2010 - 2013.

The result has proved very satisfying for us. In answer to the question of what was most important for students, seen from the present, further artistic training was in first place (very important: 65.3%; fairly important: 22.7%). In second place was getting to know other participants (very important: 47.4%; fairly important: 31.3%). 76.6 % still keep in contact with other students, 43.8 % to teachers.

Many thanks to all those who answered the questionnaire; their names were entered in a draw. First prize, a place free of charge in a 2015 course, goes to Rosemarie Stuffer. Second prize, the publication The World's Finest Studio – 60 Years of the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts, went to Sabine Dichatschek. Congratulations to the winners, whose names were drawn by our good fairy, Franziska!

90.5% of those who replied intend to take part in a further Summer Academy course. You may still apply for 2015 – there are still some places free.
