Erste Bank Art Award
We support DAS WEISSE HAUS
and the Erste Bank Art Award
The Erste Bank Art Prize was developed as part of the partnership with DAS WEISSE HAUS and will be awarded for the tenth time in 2025. A further partner are the Austrian Cultural Forums (ACF), which facilitate the residency and an exhibition in the respective country.
The Erste Bank Art Prize is endowed with prize money and a solo exhibition at DAS WEISSE HAUS and enables a one-month stay in the host country combined with an exhibition. Artists who have already exhibited at DAS WEISSE HAUS or participated in the studio and residency programme of studio DAS WEISSE HAUS are eligible to apply for the Erste Bank Art Prize.
Following a five-year collaboration with the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York, a cooperation with the ACF in London was possible in 2021. In 2022, the Erste Bank Art Award was realised together with the ACF in Belgrade and the Novi Sad-based SULUV Gallery. Novi Sad was the Capital of Culture that year. In 2023, we are grateful for the cooperation with the ACF in Warsaw. In 2024 there was a collaboration with the Austrian Cultural Forum Ottawa and the SAW Centre, Ottawa, and in 2025 we would like to thank Dr Denise Quistorp, Director of the ACF in Prague, for her cooperation.
