Since 1942, the Louise Aeschli­mann and Mar­gareta Corti Foun­da­tion has awarded annual grants to artists of the younger gen­er­a­tion. The Bernese Art Soci­ety (BKG) is pleased to once again award the AC Grant for the year 2026. The call for appli­ca­tions is open to artists with a con­nec­tion to Bern. The age limit is set at 40 years. The appli­ca­tion process for the AC Schol­ar­ship con­sists of two stages. A five-member jury eval­u­ates the sub­mis­sions and decides on the award­ing of the schol­ar­ship. In addi­tion, an art-his­tor­i­cal essay on the artis­tic work of the respec­tive schol­ar­ship recip­i­ents will be commissioned.
