We are delighted that we - the University of Applied Arts Vienna - are this year's winner of the Ladislav
Sutnar Prize. The Angewandte receives the award for its activities in constantly developing new ideas on how to help shape
and manage technological and media change while reflecting on historical traditions.
The
Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art of the University of West Bohemia has been awarding the prize annually for twelve
years - at the award ceremony on November 15, 2023, the Applied Faculty was represented by Univ.-Prof. Leonhard Grond.
The prestigious prize was also awarded to the Czech sculptor and artist Magdalena Jetelová and the American non-profit organization
Printed Matter, Inc.
With the Ladislav Sutnar Prize, the faculty honors the life and work of the internationally
renowned Czech-American designer Ladislav Sutnar, who was born in Pilsen. It is awarded to outstanding Czech and international
artists and institutions in recognition of their exceptional achievements, particularly in the field of applied art and design.
The award is closely related to the development of the Sutnar Faculty and its strategy, which reflects not only its current
goals but also its response to global events and current challenges.
We are very pleased!More information
