The STRABAG Kunstforum takes care of the art collection founded by the Austrian construction technology company STRABAG and conducts activities around it. The main objective of STRABAG Kunstforum is to support the artistic and cultural milieus of contemporary Austria and the surrounding regions by establishing relations between the business, construction industry and the world of fine arts.
The Kunstforum covers many areas of the contemporary art world, from expanding and arranging the collection, organizing exhibitions, running the STRABAG Artlounge, to its unique studio and Artist-in-Residency programs. However, these areas are not separated, but organically connected to each other in the operation of the Kunstforum, since the works of the artists who won the prize, for example, enrich the collection of STRABAG, and winning artists can also participate in the residency programs operated by the forum.
