Each year, Swiss Institute hosts two residents from Switzerland in a program funded by Pro Helvetia. Aimed at promoting artistic exchange between Switzerland and New York, the residency embodies a core element of Swiss Institute’s mission.

Applications are open to artists with Swiss nationality or a permanent residence in Switzerland who are firmly established in the Swiss cultural scene.

The application portal for the 2028 residency cycle will be made available in March 2027.
