Every year in the cabinet exhibition, an artist from the region is able to give the public a rather bigger glimpse of his or her own work. This is often a younger artist’s first solo exhibition, or the chance for a supposedly familiar work by a well-known artist to be discovered from a new perspective.

The Art Society’s exhibition prize consists of this cabinet exhibition in the context of the annual exhibition and is generally awarded to an artist whose work the jury would like to present more comprehensively than is possible in an annual exhibition.
