BPER Prize

The BPER Prize, devoted to enhancing feminine themes, debuted in 2024 and is part of the BPER Group’s traditional value structure focused on inclusion and against gender violence, united with the promotion of culture and art. In the two editions offered so far, BPER has acquired the winning work, now displayed in the contemporary art space of the BPER Gallery corporate collection, thereby providing visibility to the artist and to the work (included in organized exhibits) after the conclusion of Arte Fiera. 

With almost 23 thousand employees and about 6 million customers, the BPER Bank Group is one of Italy’s largest bank groups. It has always supported projects aimed at promoting all forms and expressions of culture. BPER Gallery was created in 2017: not just a place, but a wide-ranging project that safeguards, conserves, and presents one of Italy's largest corporate collections, with about ten thousand art works, over 3 thousand of which are masterpieces. In line with the mission of the BPER brand, the Gallery supports an active, open, stimulating culture that creates links with local areas and among people by means of real, constantly evolving initiatives such as exhibits and events.
