Artists from Central Switzerland played a major role in the foundation of the Kunstgesellschaft 200 years ago. Together with culturally-interested citizens that society aimed to compile a picture archive and to create exhibition possibilities for the artists themselves. The Kunstmuseum Luzern would like to continue offering artists this possibility. This annual exhibition of Central Swiss art presents contemporary works from the region. After all, even in a globalized and networked world, where we come from and what is happening around us are still of vital importance.
The Jahresausstellung is a platform with a particular lustre and tradition, a regional cosmos with national and international branches, as well as a pool of talent. At the vernissage, not only is the jury prize / prize of the Central Swiss Cantons awarded, but also the exhibition prize of the Kunstgesellschaft. The following year, the winner of that prize installs the Kabinett exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Luzern.
