The Gwaertler Stiftung in Basel is a grant-giving foundation dedicated to promoting culture, particularly in music, literature, theater, visual arts, and educational projects. Founded in 2013 and based at St.Alban-Vorstadt 110, its mission is to support artistic work that aims to create tangible change in its context. The foundation offers the Gwaertler Grant, open to Swiss and international artists across disciplines, especially those at the early stages of projects needing support for research, collaboration, workshops, fieldwork, and experimentation. Funding decisions are made by an independent, rotating jury of experienced arts professionals.
