Pro Helvetia
Pro Helvetia
The Swiss Arts Council
Pro Helvetia is a foundation under public law, entirely funded by the federal government. It complements the cultural promotion activities of the cantons and municipalities.
Pro Helvetia is mandated by the Swiss Confederation to promote artistic creation, foster cultural outreach and facilitate cultural exchange at home and with other countries. The foundation makes its own independent decisions about what it should promote.
Pro Helvetia supports projects on four levels: on the basis of applications, via its network of cultural centres and liaison offices abroad, within the framework of its own programmes and through information and promotional materials.
