Canton Basel-Stadt is committed to promoting a vibrant, high-quality art scene. As part of the canton’s support of independent creativity in the visual arts, Kunstkredit Basel-Stadt awards individual artists direct grants and purchases works for the cantonal art collection. This year’s Kunstkredit annual exhibition will showcase works by those artists whom the expert jury singled out either for a grant or for studio purchases over the course of 2014. Its presentation at Kunsthalle Basel parallel to the show of degree projects by senior-year students at the Art Institute, Academy of Art and Design, FHNW, assures the artists involved of an ideal platform for maximizing public awareness of their work.
