In 2023, the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung will for the second time award up to ten scholarships for participation in a workshop at the International Summer Academy Bild-Werk Frauenau. With the scholarships the foundation aims to support emerging artists who work with the medium glass, and to make it easier for them to start their careers. The workshops enable the scholarship holders to expand their professional knowledge and develop their artistic skills through encounters and intensive exchange. The scholarship enables the artists to experiment and to implement their own designs and concepts with the material glass.
The scholarships, endowed with 2,200 euros, are awarded to artists who, at the time of their application, have graduated from an art academy or completed their artistic training at a glass college or university of applied sciences within the last five years.

Bild-Werk Frauenau has invested a lot of voluntary work in GLASS WORKS over the past years, because we we are convinced that it is important to support emerging glass makers in Germany and Europe and give them a career perspective. But there is still a big funding gap which we now try to close with our crowdfunding campaign.

If you are convinced that we are on the right track with GLASS WORKS as well, please support our campaign! You can support us by simply donating money, getting some nice gifts in exchange for your donation or by sharing the information about the campaign with all the people you know.

ith the death of Erwin Eisch Bild-Werk Frauenau has lost its founder, mentor and inexhaustible source of inspiration and encouragement. Accompanied by his family, he passed away on January 25th, 2022 at the age of 94 years.
Erwin Eisch was born on April 18, 1927, the son of Valentin Eisch, glass engraver in the crystal glass factory Isidor Gistl in Frauenau, and the woodcutter's daughter Therese Hirtreiter. He was deeply influenced by his growing up in a working class environment that was conscious of craftsmanship and art, and from which he drew his spirit of contradiction, his humour and his musicality.
