Media Art

The state of Salzburg supports artistically innovative projects with the Media Art funding program that aesthetically engage with the possibilities of digital technologies and traditional media. Annual programs and yearly activities of non-profit associations, public institutions, as well as individual artists in the field of new media and non-commercial media projects are funded. The focus is on interdisciplinary formats that creatively combine, for example, audio, film, video, holography, internet, computers, mobile telephony, or games. In addition, the state of Salzburg awards an annual media art scholarship and supports individual projects that open new perspectives on information and communication technologies. Funding is provided as a grant, with total annual disbursements amounting to 100,000 euros per year (as of May 2026).

Eligible to apply are non-profit organizations and individual artists based and active in the state of Salzburg who have a non-commercial orientation and are engaged in the field of media art. A prerequisite for funding is the location and ongoing activity within the state of Salzburg. Applications can be submitted continuously, enabling timely project implementation. The program aims to further professionalize the media art scene in Salzburg, intensify the exchange between art and technology sectors, and provide innovative impulses for traditional cultural disciplines. Interested associations, institutions, and artists receive financial support through this funding offer to realize their media art visions in high-quality productions.
