Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne

  • National Portrait Gallery, London | Retrospective «Elizabeth Peyton: Aire and Angels», 2019

Visual Art

Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne’s concept of «Visual Art» encompasses not only the classical genres of art such as painting, sculpture, graphic art, drawing and photography, but also new forms of expression and media such as performance, experimental film and video. The Foundation provides funds for regular and special exhibitions as well as their accompanying catalogues at publicly accessible, well established museums and art collections provided that the exhibitions funded are international in their orientation, relevant from an art historical perspective, and carefully curated. Furthermore, Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne supports innovative und interactive projects that explore new approaches to fostering art education so as to attract new audiences. In principle, the Foundation also provides funds for the involvement of modern media in the expansion or presentation of significant pieces of art in the context of major museum projects.

Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne does not award grants for biennials, triennials or art fairs, commercial galleries, local art associations, happenings and art initiatives.
