At the end of the year the Aargauer Kunsthaus and the Aargauer Kuratorium present the Auswahl 09.

This traditional annual exhibition of Aargau artists offers a multifaceted overview of current art practices in the Canton of Aargau. For many years now the annual exhibition has provided Aargau artists with an important platform for presenting their work. Any artist living in or coming from the Canton of Aargau can apply to be included in the juried exhibition. This year a total of 216 artists has submitted their files. 68 art practitioners were invited by the jury to present their works in the Auswahl 09.

Marking the presentation of the Auswahl 09, the Aargauer Kuratorium will award its grants for work in the visual arts. The recipients will be announced at the opening of the exhibition on 27 November 2009. At the same time the Neue Aargauer Bank will present its annual advancement award to a young artist. This presentation will take place at the opening of the exhibition.
