Art+
Information
Gianna Conrad
Innovation & Society Specialist
Pro Helvetia promotes the production and dissemination of contemporary Swiss arts and culture projects with a view to diversity as well as national and international reach. Such projects are also meant to enhance knowledge exchange across artistic and non-artistic disciplines and to provide society with creative stimulus and access to critical thinking. As a national foundation, Pro Helvetia supports only projects of cross-regional and/or international significance, and supplements the promotional activities of Switzerland’s cantons and municipalities.
Artists and cultural practitioners should have the possibility of engaging with sociological shifts and integrating them in their artistic endeavours beyond the confines of their specific arts discipline – also in terms of support. Collaborations between artistic and non-artistic fields generate synergies, with the mindsets, methods and procedures of the various disciplines entering into a dialogue. Artistic perspectives, digital technologies, non-artistic disciplines and scientific debate meet on a single platform.
