Project Artist in Residence 2024

Our goal with "Artist in residence":

To create a platform for Swiss artists abroad in Switzerland, namely in Brunnen, at the location of the Swiss Abroad Square.

The "Ankerplatz" Swiss Abroad Square in Brunnen is to become a link for Swiss artists abroad to Switzerland.

"Swiss artists abroad get to know Switzerland and Switzerland gets to know Swiss artists abroad."

Artist in Residence 2024

This year's scholarship holder selected by the jury was the musician and painter Nathaniel "Nat" Cartier from Edinburgh/UK. The 25-year-old multi-instrumentalist impresses with his diverse talent and enthusiastic performances. Nat laid the foundations for his musical career as a child, during which time he lived with his family in Switzerland. In his youth he moved to Scotland, where he found his style and developed significantly. He is very much looking forward to the opportunity to reconnect more deeply with Swiss culture. During his stay in Brunnen, he has been commissioned to produce three songs as part of the scholarship. He will also paint four paintings together with his audience. The paintings created at various performances will be auctioned off at the finissage.   Cartier Music (natcartier.com) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyN79TOXGuQ&ab_channel=NatCartier  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yaBD62Wwb4&ab_channel=NatCartier  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJRmKudFIuk&ab_channel=NatCartier
