Thorwart-Jeska Foundation Art Collection

THORWART-JESKE-FOUNDATION Art Collection

The art collection of the THORWART-JESKA-FOUNDATION is a gem of diversity; an expression of authentic love for art and thus also for artists. The ten artists currently supported are all personalities who surprise, inspire and also make people think with their different styles. And ... they have something to say to the world with their art.

Since 2010, the THORWART-JESKA-FOUNDATION has been supporting young artists, most of whom have been trained or are still being trained at the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Arts. Promising painters and action artists are supported with annual scholarships and the purchase of their fascinating works.

To date, approximately 50 works of art by ten artists are in the possession of the THORWART-JESKA-FOUNDATION. These unsaleable originals are skilfully displayed in the rooms of the law firm and delight employees and visitors on a daily basis.

How can you get a scholarship?

By submitting a written application to the Representative for Arts and Culture. A lead time of one year is required, as only one artist is funded each year.
