In a shared commitment to celebrating the dialogue between art and humanitarian action, the Geneva Red Cross, the International Committee of the Red Cross, HEAD, the AHEAD Foundation and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum are joining forces around the Art Humanity Prize.

Created in 2015, this Prize annually distinguishes HEAD graduates whose work explores the connections between artistic creation and humanitarian issues. For its tenth edition, the Museum is fully partnering in the project and will host the Art Humanity Prize laureate in residence in its new space, L'Atelier. This evolution marks an important turning point: the Prize now offers the artist a participatory residency at the heart of international Geneva, culminating in the creation of a collective work destined to join the Museum's collections. This approach reaffirms the partners' commitment to promoting dialogue between art, humanity and civic participation.

The Art Humanity Prize comprises two awards: the Public Prize and the Residency Prize. Both awards will be presented on Friday 30 January 2026, during the official ceremony at the Museum.

An Upcoming Exhibition at the Heart of L'Atelier

For this anniversary edition, L'Atelier will present for the first time the projects of the five HEAD graduate finalists. The public will be able to discover their installations from 9 December 2025 to 1 March 2026, in an exhibition with free admission.

Trained in Geneva, these artists each explore in their own way the notions of sharing, commitment and collective experimentation. Their proposals outline the approaches they could develop during a future residency at the Museum.

Tablets will be made available to allow visitors to vote for their favourite project until 28 January 2026. The Public Prize laureate will be revealed during the ceremony on 30 January. This prize is in addition to the Art Humanity Prize, whose laureate will undertake a participatory artistic residency in L'Atelier in the following months.
