Promotion of contemporary artists

The Possehl Prizes for Art, which have been awarded since 2018, focus on outstanding international and local positions and strengthen the Hanseatic City of Lübeck as a location for contemporary art. The Possehl Prize for Lübeck Art gives local artists the opportunity to realise a project, while the Possehl Prize for International Art, which has been awarded since 2019, is accompanied by prize money and the organisation of an exhibition in Lübeck.
