SUPPORT FOR THE ARTS

Ever since the Andreas Felger Cultural Foundation was established in 2002, one of its core objectives has been the support of the visual arts. This term encompasses several areas of the Foundation’s work:

• AFKS’s commitment to contemporary artists, as exemplified by the WERK.STOFF Prize for Painting, awarded in 2018 and 2021 in collaboration with the Heidelberger Kunstverein.
• Donations from the artist or artistic projects supported by the benefactor as part of regional arts funding, particularly in the field of art in public spaces.
• Support for the foundation’s work in preserving, documenting and exhibiting the works of Andreas Felger, and in organising contemporary art projects, through the association ‘Kunstfreunde Andreas Felger e. V.’

The Andreas Felger Cultural Foundation supports the autonomy of artists and their works and values the individuality and authenticity of artistic creation – particularly in times when technology-driven processes influence almost every aspect of our private and public lives. Human emotion and artistic creativity are increasingly becoming the last bastions of analogue feeling and action, which we should protect and promote.
