Baloise Art Prize

Twenty years ago, Baloise widened its efforts to promote the arts by introducing a new and substantial dimension: th Baloise Art Prize, which is awarded annually to two young artists.

The two awards, which include a cash prize of CHF 30,000 each, are presented in the Art Statements sector of the Art Basel by a jury made up of renowned art specialists.

In addition, Baloise buys groups of work by the prizewinners with the object of donating them to two leading European museums, currently the MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt and the MUDAM, Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg.

Baloise's commitment for fostering the arts in the form of prize money, purchases of art works, financial support for Art Statements, and museum exhibition for the prizewinners amounts to some CHF 250,000 each year.
