Sachsen Bank has a long tradition of engagement in the promotion of art and culture in Saxony and Central Germany. The parent institutes BW-Bank and Sachsen LB already supported contemporary art through many sponsorship schemes and through art acquisition. Thus Sachsen Bank is now pursuing this engagement. A high point in the artistic engagement of the credit institute is the Sachsen Bank Art Prize. In cooperation with the Museum of Visual Arts Leipzig, the Sachsen Bank awards this prize to artists who are beginning their careers. The prize was first awarded in 2002, since then the award ceremony has taken place every two years. The Sachsen Bank Art Prize comprises an exhibition by the prize-winner, a catalogue, and the purchase of a work or a group of works for the Museum of Visual Arts Leipzig. Also, Sachsen Bank sponsors the prize for the Leipzig Annual Exhibition. Each autumn the exhibition gives various artists the chance to showcase their work in Leipzig and to partake in an artistic dialogue. Alongside financial promotion, an individual exhibition for the winner is also linked to the prize.
