Places are important. Where we come from, where we’re going, where we live and work is never a trivial matter even in a globalised world. So every year, in a jury-adjudicated exhibition, the Kunstmuseum Luzern presents artists with a connection to the region. The annual exhibition of Central Swiss artists offers the visitors an insight into the diversity of artistic work in their immediate surroundings, and gives artists the opportunity to present their work prominently to a wide audience. Regardless of its programmatically local roots, the annual exhibition mobilises a public beyond regional boundaries. This year 203 artists applied to take part, of which 23 were selected. Shortly after the show’s installation two prizes were awarded: the jury’s prize / the prize of the central Swiss cantons (12,000 francs and the purchase of a work) and the exhibition prize of Lucerne Art Society (cabinet exhibition at Kunstmuseum Luzern in the following year).
