An international festival in harmony with nature
summer.fresh.art. in Bad Gastein
An exciting program with top-class, well-known and up-and-coming young artists awaits you.
Art is as much a part of Bad Gastein as the imposing mountains and the magnificent Belle Époque buildings. Bad Gastein has always exerted a great attraction on artists and art lovers. So it's no wonder that an excellent art and culture festival has established itself here with sommer.frische.kunst.
June 26 to August 31, 2025
15 years of sommer.frische.kunst. & 100 years Gerhard Garstenauer

Mon-Thu 14:00 to 18:00
Fri-Sun 11:00 to 18:00
Local art in the spotlight
Show your Art offers local artists from the Pongau region the opportunity to present their works as part of a curated exhibition.
From June 12 to 15, 2025, the Bad Gastein power plant will become a venue for contemporary painting, sculpture, installation and photography - even before the official start of sommer.frische.kunst.
Art in public space
In the midst of the summer landscape, the installation Slow | Langsamkeit by artist Theresa Hattinger will invite visitors to leave the hectic pace of everyday life behind and engage with the slow perception of space and time.
Since the start of the festival, the participating artists have been leaving their mark. Both in public spaces and at selected historical sites that can be visited all year round, such as sculptures by Olaf Holzapfel and Kazunori Kura in Sportgastein.
