WE support young artists

Since 2020, the Pohl Collection has awarded two annual grants to visual artists who have recently completed a university degree in fine arts. The grants are intended to provide support at the beginning of a career as a freelance artist, enabling them to focus on the further development of an individual and consistent artistic practice.

The application period for 2026 has closed.
