Künstlerhaus Salzburg, Historic artist's house in Nonntal, Austria.
Künstlerhaus Salzburg is a heritage-protected building in the Nonntal district that houses exhibition galleries and artist studios. The spaces are arranged across multiple levels and accommodate contemporary art shows alongside the daily work of resident creators.
The building was completed in 1885 through a lottery initiative that funded its construction. Archduke Ludwig Victor's support helped establish what became a lasting space for artists in the city.
The Salzburger Kunstverein has occupied the house since 1885, when the building passed into its ownership. Since 2001 it has shared the premises with gold extra, Initiative Architektur Salzburg, ARTgenossen, wohnbund:consult, ohnetitel and oenm, which use studios there. A public bookcase placed in front of the house in 2011 lets anyone borrow books without registering.
The building stands at Hellbrunner Straße 3, next to the district court and near the Nonntal bridge at the southern edge of the old town. The entrance area was redesigned and the Café Cult expanded between 1995 and 1999 by architect Elsa Prochazka. Since 2011 a public bookcase in front of the house lets anyone borrow books.
The building holds 24 studios, 20 of them let only to members of the Salzburg Art Association, usually for three years with one possible extension. Since 2011 a public bookcase has stood in front of the house, where anyone may borrow books without registering.
