German Society for Christian Art

The German Society for Christian Art (German - Deutsche Gesellschaft für christliche Kunst or DG) is a "supra-regional, not-for-profit and independent cultural insitution"[1] based in Munich. It was formed in 1893 and sees itself as an "ecumenically oriented forum for a lively dialogue between artists, theologians, philosophers and art lovers".[1] In its gallery at Finkenstraße 4 on Wittelsbacherplatz in Munich[2] it holds thematic retrospectives of contemporary artists. Since 1979 it has awarded the Gebhard Fugel Art Prize.
