What's it about?

Education means not only learning new things – but also broadening one's horizons and immersing oneself in worlds that often lie hidden. Our series "Everyday Stories" invites you to get to know professions and fields of work where humanity, patience, and mindfulness are particularly in demand. This time, we will explore life as an artist. How does one actually live from art? And why does one even put themselves through it? Our guest is Marco Prenninger, photographer and visual artist. He talks about what often remains invisible: the everyday life as a freelance artist between passion, uncertainty, and constantly persevering. How can one survive with art? What drives one to continue? And where do ideas come from when suddenly there are none? An evening about motivation, doubts, creative processes, and the search for motifs – both externally and internally. Honest, approachable, and without a romantic filter. With a small snack and a glass of wine, there will be space for exchange, questions, and personal conversations. The conversation will be recorded and can later be listened to as a podcast. Contents: Stories from the everyday life of a freelance artist – honest, direct, and often different than one thinks Between passion and existence: challenges and opportunities of living from art About discipline, doubts, and the art of persevering when things get uncertain Reflections on expectations, freedom, and one's own path beyond classical life designs Target audience: All interested parties Max. number of participants: 40 Speaker: Marco Prenninger (photographer and freelance artist) Admission: 15,- incl. snack and drinks Registration: directly via the ticket link, by email to bildung@sanktmagdalena.at or by phone at 0732 253041-210
