Thurgau guest at the Thun Artists' Exchange
Thurgau artists can present themselves at the Swiss Artists' Fair in Thun in 2016. The canton of Thurgau has been invited to present a cultural program as a guest canton. The cantonal government is making a lottery fund contribution of CHF 95,000 to the project.
According to the canton's press release, the Thurgau cantonal government is convinced that an appearance as a guest canton at the Artists' Fair is an ideal opportunity to shine a spotlight on the small arts scene in the canton. A three-member jury of experts headed by Martha Monstein, Head of the Cantonal Office of Culture, will decide which artists from Thurgau will be allowed to present themselves in Thun. The selection is intended to represent the current cultural activities in the field of cabaret in the canton of Thurgau.
The Swiss Artists' Exchange from April 14 to 17, 2016 offers artists the opportunity to present themselves with performances, an exhibition stand and artistic interventions on and off stage. The exchange is organized by the association "KünstlerInnen - Theater - VeranstalterInnen, Schweiz" (KTV). Over the course of three days, around 90 artists - or artist formations - from Switzerland and abroad present their current programs.
