Paradiesli. Cultural Promotion Association. In Sigriwil

The Kulturförderverein Paradiesli in Sigriswil (hereinafter referred to as KuPiS) is a non-profit association in the sense of Art. 60 et seq. of the Swiss Civil Code with its registered office in 3655 Sigriswil,

The purpose of the association is the promotion and support of artists of various art disciplines and to bring them closer to the interested general public.

In particular, the association supports the artists’ residence Paradiesli, in short P.AiR.S (Paradiesli.Artists in Residence. Sigriwil). P.AiR.S aims to bring together talented artists from all over the world to experience a unique cultural environment for contemporary art. Selected artists are invited to live and work for a limited period of time during the winter months at Gästehaus Paradiesli, in Sigriswil, in a community of three artists from different backgrounds. In this way, P.AiR.S aims to give the artists the opportunity to counteract isolation and develop creative exchange by living and working in an inspiring place.

KuPiS also contributes to the dissemination and deepening of the understanding of art by promoting contact between artists and those interested in art. For this purpose, KuPiS organizes in cooperation with the Gästehaus Paradiesli suitable platforms such as exhibitions, artist talks, as well as cultural events for the public presentation of current art work or to promote contact between artists and those interested in art and culture.
