Salzburg – a city with history and art from many eras, yet there is also room for modern art. Moreover, it’s in a public space, freely accessible.
The Salzburg Foundation’s art project aims to make modern contemporary visual art freely accessible to people who do not necessarily engage with art, and to show that there is room for modern artistic creation even in the historical ambience of the old town.
