The Neue Galerie Graz is presenting 'Art space Styria,' an exhibition running parallel to the Promotion Prize of the Province of Styria for Contemporary Arts. The show features Styrian participants from the 2023/24 studio programs and foreign scholarships offered by the Department of Culture, showcasing work by over 30 artists including Ace, Joerg Auzinger, Veronika Eberhart, and others. The exhibition highlights contemporary art from artists who either come from Styria or have close ties to the region.
This exhibition matters because it underscores the diversity and creativity of the local Styrian art scene while reinforcing the Neue Galerie Graz's role as a major cultural institution. With a collection of more than 70,000 works, the museum provides a platform for regional talent alongside internationally significant positions, demonstrating how local scholarship programs can foster artistic development and connect emerging artists to broader contemporary art discourse.
