Art Prize of the Freemasons Foundation of the Swords and Apples Lodges in Dresden

The Freemason Foundation of the Schwerter- and Apfellogen in Dresden continuously awards an art prize specifically aimed at sculptors, performers, and painters. In the tradition of the founding lodges established in the 18th century and revived after the reunification, the foundation honors outstanding artistic achievements in Saxony with this award. Especially emerging artists are given a valued platform to further develop their creative potential and establish themselves within the cultural landscape. Eligible for funding are private individuals from the fields of sculpture, performance, and painting who have already demonstrated initial signs of quality and innovation through their work.

The art prize aims to promote artistic excellence while sustainably supporting young artists. Decisions are made by experienced members of the board of trustees and the executive board based on established criteria: artistic quality, degree of innovation, and potential for nurturing emerging talent are central to the evaluation. The award not only provides financial support but also enhances the visibility of the recipients within professional circles. Interested applicants have the ongoing opportunity to submit their projects and become part of this long-standing tradition of support.
