Since 1961, the Hustinx Foundation has been committed to strengthening art and science in the Maastricht region. Convinced that art and science are the driving force behind progress, the foundation supports talented creators and innovative projects. It does this by awarding prizes and providing financial support to initiatives.
The foundation was founded by the visionary entrepreneur and inventor Edmond Hustinx. His forward-looking vision lives on today: for some 65 years, the foundation has provided a lasting impetus to culture and science in Maastricht and the surrounding area.
