Pro Helvetia Warsaw supports and coordinates contemporary art projects which represent Swiss culture in Poland and the surrounding countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) and foster contacts between artists from Switzerland and the said region.

Support is provided to projects from the disciplines of dance, theatre, literature, music, visual arts, film, etc  that meet high quality criteria and promise to have a long-term impact. In the coming years, Pro Helvetia Warsaw will be focusing especially on literature.

Exchanges between artists and other cultural practitioners from Switzerland, Poland and its neighbours in connection with the artist-in-residence programme represent a further priority.

Pro Helvetia Warsaw works together with institutions, organisations and artists that are professionally active in the world of arts and who are able to contribute financially and organisationally to cultural projects.

Pro Helvetia Warsaw does not support commercial projects, nor does it provide grants for studies or finance infrastructure.
