LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2025 Exhibition in Madrid

Oral tradition, ritual and knowledge passed through generations are expressed in works that pay reverence to this rich inheritance. While in other works, the artist has forged their own path, creating unique sculptural forms that offer a new direction. Some of these new forms conjure a sense of whimsy and the fantastical, while in others, the artist’s hand is felt more strongly through a gestural treatment of surface.

This year’s finalists were chosen by a panel of experts from over 4,600 submissions by artisans representing 133 countries and regions. The 30 finalists, representing 18 countries and regions, work across a range of mediums including ceramics, woodwork, textiles, furniture, paper, glass, metal, jewellery and lacquer.

A tribute to LOEWE’s beginnings as a collective craft workshop in 1846, the annual Craft Prize was launched by the LOEWE FOUNDATION in 2016 to celebrate excellence, artistic merit, and innovation in modern craftsmanship. The award aims to acknowledge the importance of craft in today’s culture and to recognise artists whose talent, vision and will to innovate, promise to set a new standard for the future.
