Pro Helvetia and Swiss Institute partnership is based on a mandate contract aimed at supporting the promotion of Swiss artists, artistic exchange between Switzerland and New York’s cultural scenes and audiences, and the promotion of Swiss artists within the USA.

Swiss Institute is an independent non-profit contemporary art institution dedicated to promoting forward-thinking and experimental art making through innovative exhibitions and programs. Committed to the highest standards of curatorial and educational excellence, Swiss Institute serves as a platform for emerging artists, catalyzes new contexts for celebrated work, and fosters appreciation for under-recognized positions. Open to the public free-of-charge, Swiss Institute seeks to explore how artistic exchange between Switzerland and the United States can foster international conversations in the fields of visual and performing arts, design and architecture.
