AC-Stipendium Präsentation
The Bernische Kunstgesellschaft’s AC Scholarship is the most prestigious private art grant in the Canton of Bern. The exhibition taking place at the Kunstmuseum Bern comprises works submitted by the award winners as well as a selection of works by artists who competed in 2013.
Young Bernese artists have been granted scholarships or won prizes annually since 1942. In 2013 artists will be awarded a total amounting to CHF 70'000.00.
Artists up to the age of 40 may compete if they have lived in Bern for at least one year or are citizens of the Canton of Bern. A jury votes on the winners from the submissions and invites the artists to present selected works in the exhibition.
The Bernische Kunstgesellschaft, which awards the AC Scholarships, is celebrating its bicentennial in 2013. For the occasion, the show Feu Sacré will take place from September 20 2012, in which works of prize winners of the AC Scholarship since 1942 will be exhibited.
