Foyer Exhibition: Environmental-Art Award

As part of the Environmental Award of the City of Graz and in co-operation with the Market of the Future, the Kunsthaus Graz will present an award-winning artistic position on the subject of the environment and sustainable nutrition. The exhibited work explores the question of how we can use artistic means to open up new perspectives on the way we deal with food - creatively, critically and with an eye to the future.

The Kunsthaus Graz Environmental Art Prize, which is being awarded for the first time, is aimed at artists who deal with ecological sustainability - with a particular focus on our food system. How can we counteract waste, conserve local resources and cultivate a respectful approach to food? The award-winning work provides a convincing artistic answer to these questions and invites us to reflect and take action.

As a Green Museum, awarded the Austrian Ecolabel since 2021, the Kunsthaus Graz promotes a sustainable exhibition concept and sees art as a tool for social change. The Environmental Art Award is part of this commitment - and an expression of the conviction that art can contribute to creating awareness and supporting concrete transformation processes.

The selection was made by an expert jury consisting of Andreja Hribernik and Katrin Bucher Trantow (Kunsthaus Graz) and Judith Schwentner (Deputy Mayor of the City of Graz). The winning position will be supported with a project fee of 3,000 euros and presented in the foyer of the Kunsthaus Graz from mid-September to the beginning of November 2025.
