Helvetia Art Prize
The Helvetia Art Prize
Launched in 2004, this sponsorship prize supports graduates of Swiss universities of the arts as they embark on their artistic careers. In doing so, Helvetia continues its long-standing commitment to Swiss artistic creation and provides targeted visibility for young artists. The Helvetia Collection of Swiss Contemporary Art is one of the most significant collections of its kind, focusing on painting, drawing and photography. In contrast, the Art Prize is deliberately open to a wide range of artistic media and forms of expression. The focus lies on new ideas, experimental approaches and the diversity of the emerging generation of artists. The Art Prize includes prize money of CHF 15,000 and a solo exhibition.
The prize is awarded every year as part of the Plattform exhibition.
