The Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg is a venue for contemporary art, offering rotating exhibitions and a platform for artists from around the world.
The Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg is the central institution for contemporary art on the border between French and German-speaking Switzerland. Founded in 1981, it has established itself in its more than 40-years history as an important venue to foster the production and presentation of contemporary art and current artistic practices. Located in the lower town of Fribourg, it presents a distinct program of exhibitions, events, and educational formats for a broad audience. The Kunsthalle acts independently and creates spaces for exchange and dialogue about contemporary art. It also collaborates regularly with institutions and partners in the region and abroad. Located in a bilingual cultural environment, the Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg fosters an active exchange between the German- and French-speaking art scenes in Switzerland.
