Basel, May 7, 2025. Baloise has a long tradition of promoting talent. This idea of promotion also characterizes Baloise's commitment to art – through purchases for its own collection and with the Baloise Art Prize, which is awarded to two young, up-and-coming talents each year.

The two prizes, each worth CHF 30,000.–, are awarded in the Statements sector at Art Basel in Basel by a jury of international experts. In addition, Baloise acquires groups of works by the prize winners and donates these artworks to two important European museums, currently the MMK (Museum für Moderne Kunst), Frankfurt and the MUDAM (Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean), Luxembourg. The art sponsorship commitment includes prize money, purchases of works, sponsorship contributions for the Art Statements sector and museum exhibitions of the prize winners.

Baloise's long-standing commitment to the promotion of young artists at Art Basel in Basel has attracted considerable international attention and the list of prize winners is long. During Art Basel 2025 (19–22 June 2025), the Baloise Studio in Hall 2.2. will show all the winners and their works.
