Prize conferrals
art karlsruhe is strongly committed to honouring artistic creativity and art mediation, and to putting them into the focus of attention. This is why three endowed prizes will be conferred: two of these awards are destined for a gallery owner and an artist represented by that gallery; the third prize is for an artist and his work on academy:square.
art karlsruhe prize
The jury annually selects and honours a gallery owner and an artist who jointly staged a one:artist show. The prize money, which is made available by the State of Land Baden-Württemberg and the City of Karlsruhe, finances the purchase of artworks from the presentation shown at the fair.
