This website is dedicated to the concept of Switzerland as a hot bed of ideas, artistic ventures and creative collaborations. Less a blog, than a collection of ART-icles (most of which were published by www.swisster.ch, a former online newspaper from Switzerland’s largest publishing house or www.swissinfo.ch, the international branch of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SBC)), its aim is to give a small panorama of what makes Switzerland a great place to be living in today. Michèle Laird worked as an arts administrator in Paris, New York and London before settling in Lausanne. She is now a freelance journalist specialized in the arts.
Dear Ms. Laird – I’m so happy to have stumbled upon your blog. I live in the Lavaux region and am a student artist. Finding information about art and other artists in Switzerland led me to you. I hope to be able to deepen my knowledge of the burgeoning art world around my area. Keep up the good work!
