Bamberg’s Art Association

Bamberg’s Art Association was founded on December 12th, 1823 and is therefore one of Germany’s oldest institutions of this kind. Its main goal is to promote and present contemporary art.
Exhibitions of paintings, graphic art, sculptures, photography, installations and performances make up the core of the association’s activities in various locations.
The association itself has an extensive collection of art which is also shown at exhibitions. In addition, the association awards an arts prize every year for projects within the context of contemporary art, the Berganza Prize.
