The Swiss Art Market Association and 4ARTechnologies AG, have created the digital transformation project “Art Market Switzerland”. The Canton of Zurich approved the submission to receive funding to support artists and program galleries in Switzerland.

The collaboration will support especially smaller participants in the art market and the plan is to strengthen Switzerland as a cultural location in the national and international context.

Switzerland is developing innovative solutions and technologies that will enable a broad audience to take advantage of the opportunities that the changing international art market offers. Ensuring future security is also a key element of this joint strategy.
