bilding EXPO - Artistic collaboration in the summer program in Innsbruck 2025

Deadline: Thursday, Apr 17, 2025, 11:00am

The art and architecture school bilding is a creative, open space for children and young people, which has built its experimental home in the Rapoldi City Park in Innsbruck since 2015. bilding supports young people in discovering and further developing their creative interests, skills and artistic talents. In the bilding-studios, design experiences are gathered together with artists and architects in painting, sculpture, architecture, graphic design, photography, film and new media, and artistic development processes are initiated and implemented experimentally.

Within the frame of the cooperation between bilding and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, students of the Academy who are interested in artistic-experimental work with children and young people are addressed. Three positions are offered for the following periods (for 1 week each): 7.7.-11.7., 14.7.-18.7., 21.7.-25.7., 28.7.-1.8., 18.8.-22.8.2025.

Jury members: Anna Pritz (IKL), Antje Lehn (IKA), Ingeborg Erhart (vice-rector for art and teaching), Moni Abendstein (bilding)

Idea, design and implementation of a workshop

On the occasion of bilding's 10^th anniversary, the 2025 summer program will be dedicated to creative experimentation and artistic invention.
