Young Art from Eastern Bavaria on Display: The Winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize 2025
The city gallery ALTE FEUERWACHE in the Amberg City Museum presents the winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize 2025. Under the umbrella of a significant young talent award in the region, a pointed exhibition of contemporary positions from painting, graphics, and installation unfolds. An art experience that combines aesthetic experience, artwork observation, and curated diversity.
Curated Encounters: Space, Light, Artwork
Precise curation creates clear sightlines. Color fields, line rhythms, and sculptural placements respond to the daylight of the former fire station. The atmosphere of the exhibition promotes concentrated viewing: materials alternate between matte and glossy, brushstrokes and print graphics condense into visual rhythms, and installation accents open up the space.
Art Historical Classification: Present from Eastern Bavaria
The Sparda-Bank Art Prize Amberg has been honoring young talents with regional ties for years and strengthening their artistic development. The prize is endowed with €6,000; a jury selects the award winners. The 2026 award winner exhibition brings together the latest positions and sets them in the context of contemporary art from Eastern Bavaria as well as the programming tradition of the city gallery.
Artwork Analysis: Handwritings and Strategies
Painting explores the relationship between figure and ground, overlays digital and analog image worlds, and works with contrast, glaze, and density. Graphics display serial processes and tactile surfaces, while installations redirect sightlines and activate perception performatively. This creates a dialogical path that sharpens the aesthetic experience in the interplay of close-up views and overviews.
Communication and Visit
Access is via the city museum. Entry to the city gallery is free. Opening hours Tue–Fri 11–16, Sat–Sun 11–17; closed on Mondays. A tour of 45 to 60 minutes is recommended, allowing time for intense artwork observations.
Conclusion
Expect a focused exhibition that compellingly brings together young art: clear hanging, diverse media, strong spatial impact. Admission is free – ideal for sharpening your own perception and experiencing contemporary art from Eastern Bavaria live.
