Award Winners Exhibition of the Sparda Bank Art Prize 2025 at the City Gallery Amberg

Young Art from Eastern Bavaria: The Award Winners of the Sparda Bank Art Prize 2025 in Amberg

The city gallery ALTE FEUERWACHE in the Amberg City Museum presents the exhibition of the current award winners of the Sparda Bank Art Prize 2025: Theresa Eberl, LEITI (Stefan Leitner), and Luis Weiland. The group exhibition unfolds a contemporary art experience, transferring painting, graphics, and installation into a clear curation and inviting visitors to engage deeply with the works.

Diverse Positions – Painting, Installation, Material

In the interplay of color, form, and material, the three artistic signatures explore contemporary art in Eastern Bavaria. Thick structures, finely nuanced surfaces, spatially expansive installations, and precise lighting create an exhibition atmosphere that vacillates between contemplative calm and energetic tension. The spatial staging of the city gallery opens sight lines where figuration and abstraction, process and form-finding meet productively.

Art Historical Context and Curatorial Line

The exhibition connects to the program of the city gallery ALTE FEUERWACHE, which showcases contemporary art from Eastern Bavaria. The focus is on current trends in painting and installation, whose visual languages oscillate between gestural painting, conceptual placement, and material-conscious practice. The curation emphasizes dialogues between groups of works and connects aesthetic experience with art education accessibility.

A Prize with Impact: Promotion, Visibility, Discourse

The Sparda Bank Art Prize Amberg has been honoring young artistic positions in the region for years, creating public awareness and opening professional perspectives. With the exhibition, the awarded works become visible in a museum context – including an accompanying program with opportunities for discussion and in-depth mediation.

Visitor Information and Exhibition Framework

The venue for the exhibition is the city gallery ALTE FEUERWACHE at the Amberg City Museum. Access is through the museum entrance. The gallery is open Tuesday to Friday from 11 AM to 4 PM, and on weekends from 11 AM to 5 PM. Admission is free; the exhibition runs from April 29 to July 12, 2026.

Conclusion
