Kunsthalle Wien Preis 2026
Lotti Brockmann & Valentino Skarwan

Lotti Brockmann (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna) and Valentino Skarwan (University of Applied Arts Vienna) will hold a joint exhibition at Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz in December 2026.

The Kunsthalle Wien Preis [Kunsthalle Wien Prize] seeks to support emerging artists living and working in Vienna and to promote discourse on contemporary art via an annual collaboration with Vienna’s two renowned art universities. Jointly organised by Kunsthalle Wien together with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the University of Applied Arts Vienna, it is awarded annually by a jury of experts to a graduate of each of the universities. Now in its 23rd year, the prize is intended to support recent graduates, building a bridge between academic study and professional practice, while bringing the work of these artists to a broader public.

The selected artists receive a joint exhibition and publication with commissioned texts as well as a prize of € 3,000 each, sponsored by Kunsttrans and smc Steirer Mika & Comp.
