Contemporary art reflects our social, cultural and media reality; it renders transformation visible and enhances aesthetic perception.
The J-O Culture Foundation supports the work of professional artists of national or international standing. In particular we promote artistic approaches that further our understanding of the present in an innovative, sustainable and publicly effective manner, and contribute to the dialog between art and society. The J-O Culture Foundation also supports art museums in the acquisition of works considered important in terms of artistic quality, art historical significance and public potential.
