Ars viva is an annual art prize awarded by the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft to emerging artists under the age of 35 who are living and working in Germany, regardless of nationality. Established in 1953, the prize was initiated to support artists in the aftermath of World War II, aiming to contribute to the development of contemporary art. Recipients are nominated and selected by a jury of professionals in the visual arts.
