Liaison Office of the Swiss Arts Council in India

Reflecting the multicultural character
Pro Helvetia New Delhi initiates, supports and presents projects that reflect the multicultural character of Switzerland and India. It supports Swiss artists seeking dialogue with other cultures in an effort to forge closer ties. The focus is on quality and originality, on mutuality and respect to ensure that both sides benefit from the exchange.

A presence throughout the South Asia region
The liaison office in New Delhi is the Swiss Arts Council’s first office in Asia. Its aim is to coordinate Pro Helvetia’s activities in the South Asia region starting with India. It supports artistic and cultural collaboration between India and Switzerland, and also promotes Swiss ideas and arts practice among Indian audiences.

Open to new ideas
Contemporary music, design, dance, literature, photography and new media are the areas that Pro Helvetia New Delhi will focus on for the near future. However, the office is open to ideas and applications from other fields. Swiss culture is dynamic, as are its ties to other cultures. Pro Helvetia’s liaison office in New Delhi aims to provide opportunities for mutual enrichment and exchange in arts and culture between India and Switzerland.
