Swiss Institute: 35th Anniversary Live Benefit Auction 2021

Founded in 1986, Swiss Institute is an independent non-profit space for international contemporary art located in New York City's East Village. Committed to the highest standards of curatorial and educational excellence, Swiss Institute serves as a platform for emerging artists, catalyzes new contexts for celebrated work, and fosters appreciation for under-recognized positions.

SI's 35th Anniversary Benefit Auction is the organization’s largest fundraising event of the year. It helps fund exhibitions, public programs and education workshops for children, teens and seniors. Most importantly, it keeps Swiss Institute open to the public, with all exhibitions, events and programs presented entirely free-of-charge. You can learn more about this exciting event here!
