A commitment to the young Swiss artistic scene
The Manor Cultural Prize, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2022, is one of the main prizes for promoting contemporary art in Switzerland. It was launched in 1982 by Philippe Nordmann with the aim of providing a platform for young Swiss artists. It is awarded each year by a professional jury alternating in the following cities: Aarau, Basel, Bienne, Chur, Geneva, Lausanne, Lucerne (for central Switzerland), Lugano, Schaffhausen, Sion, St. Gallen and Winterthur. A look at the list of winners shows that the Manor Cultural Prize has given, for a good number of artists, the kick-off to an international career.
Manor warmly congratulates the winners of the 2023 Manor Cultural Prize and wishes them great success in the rest of their artistic journey!
