About the Foundation
The Versicherungskammer Kulturstiftung is a non-profit foundation based in Munich. Its purpose is the furtherance of art and culture, primarily via our own program of exhibitions and concerts.
The foundation actively and independently develops its own agenda. We collaborate with regional, national, and international partners. Funding projects are nominated and selected by the foundation itself. Please note that we do not accept funding applications.
Our Areas of Endeavor
- With an exhibition profile encompassing graphic art and drawings, the Kunstfoyer is synonymous with intercultural dialog. Our success derives from working together with a large number of institutions. At the same time, every exhibition sets its own accents. Retrospectives provide deeper insights into the oeuvre of an individual artist or the mood of an epoch.
- Our longstanding grants also include the prizes awarded by the Versicherungskammer Kulturstiftung, such as the Bayerischer Museumspreis and the Giesinger Kulturpreis.
