Art
support

In the field of art, the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung focuses on contemporary photography as well as contemporary sculptures and installations using the medium of glass. A central concern is the improvement of training opportunities for artists working in the foundation’s funding priorities.

Together with universities, glass schools and academies, the foundation works on the further development of training programs and supports the acquisition of adequate technical equipment. The foundation also supports individual artists in various projects. Museums and exhibition houses are supported primarily within the framework of long-term funding programs, through the support of ambitious exhibition projects and the financing of important acquisitions.
