Since 1983, the Swiss-based Vordemberge-Gildewart Foundation, in collaboration with a European exhibition venue, has been awarding a 60,000 Swiss franc scholarship to artists under the age of 35 from the respective region. The group exhibition Stipendium 4.0 has been curated for the occasion and serves as the basis for the selection of the winner by an independent international jury. This marks the fourth time that Museum Wiesbaden has hosted one of the world's most important scholarship competitions for young artists, previously doing so in 1997, 2004 and 2012.
