The Manor Culture Prize awarded to six Swiss artists

What: Launched in 1982, the Manor Cultural Prize is one of the most important prizes for the promotion of contemporary art in Switzerland.

Why it is important: The prize was launched with the aim of offering a platform to young Swiss artists.

For 39 years, the Manor Cultural Prize has been encouraging young Swiss artists in the field of visual arts: painting, sculpture, photography, video art and installations. This year, the winners will once again be able to present their work at exhibitions in Basel, Graubünden, St. Gallen, Schaffhausen, Zurich, and Geneva.
