Artists near water Vättis 2017

August 2017, fifteen international and swiss artists interpreted the theme "water" in the mountain village in very different ways. More about the project also in the final report (german). Below you will find a short description and photos for each participant. The artists were invited to consider the thema water in Vättis. The association supported them with meals, lodging, materials and advice. During this time, a special website and the village museum informed visitors about current happenings and gave background information. Also, visitors could see the artists at work at their respective workplaces.

At six special events, some of the artists and their work were introduced in more detail.
