In future, the Secession hopes to intensify its collaboration with private enterprises, both in the form of long-term partnerships and project-related co-operation, so as to consolidate its financial independence. Apart from this, up-to-date and promising models for art sponsorship are being developed with representatives from industry and the media, which will enable the Secession to reach new target audiences and implement mutually developed models of communication, as well as to ensure the sensible exploitation of any ensuing synergy. No attempt will made to paper over or even negate differences in opinion and contradictory stand points, as these should be accepted as a welcome opportunity for constructive criticism. However, the prerequisite for this is the acceptance of the absolute freedom of contemporary art on the part of the co-operating partners and the ability to accept different values.

The exhibition program of the Vienna Secession can only be realized with the continuos support of our sponsors and partners. We would like to thank all companies and instituions for their generosity and the successful cooperation.
