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.
