Pablo Picasso once said “Art washes the dust of everyday live off of the soul”. Bad Reichenhall’s art academy adheres to this principle as well and, thanks to its exciting selection of courses, has made a name for itself far beyond the confines of Bavaria.
Far from the physical and mental duress of everyday life the Art Academy’s rooms at the Old Saltworks offer a perfect space for creative artwork. The Old Saltworks are, in fact, one of Europe’s most attractive industrial monuments. The Academy’s varied offer caters to artistically inclined people who wish to learn new techniques or add some creative moments to their relaxing vacation. Renowned artists lead the classes, be they with the use of a brush, a pencil or a hammer and chisel. The courses vary in length from three to six days and are not limited to those with previous artistic training.
Each year over 2,000 art fans from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other countries attend the 200 classes that are taught by some 120 artists in the spacious and well equipped workshops. The Reichenhall Art Academy is, in fact, the largest of its kind in Europe! Art is presented here in a great variety of forms and in an open and inquisitive atmosphere.
