The eighth edition of Zurich Art Weekend 2025 presents an artist-centred weekend showcasing the international art scene. Building on the success of 2024, which attracted over 45,000 visitors, this year’s edition deepens its commitment to critical dialogue and connections. With 70+ venues, 75+ exhibitions, 150+ events and 150+ artists, Zurich Art Weekend 2025 promises a cutting-edge program engaging art professionals, collectors and enthusiasts alike.
With a diverse program set up by Zurich’s internationally renowned museums, institutions and galleries, top universities, experimental off-spaces and esteemed public and private collections—Zurich Art Weekend showcases the vibrancy of the contemporary art scene on a national and international scale. Zurich Art Weekend is committed to being an inclusive, accessible platform through its free and open program. Zurich Art Weekend is a catalyst that envisions Zurich as a place for experiences and encounters, a thriving hub for the arts where diverse voices converge. During ZAW, the city becomes an unmissable meeting point for art professionals and collectors from the global art scene to network and engage with a rich program of exhibitions and exclusive curated events. Simultaneously, ZAW actively encourages cross-disciplinary exchanges to deepen the understanding of artistic creation.
Zurich Art Weekend began in 2018, driven by a collective vision to unite the city’s art ecosystem and strengthen its participation in the global arts conversation. Guided by founding members and a distinguished academic committee comprising curators, artists, museum directors and critics, Zurich Art Weekend evolved from 35 to 70+ art venues and organisations, presenting exhibitions and events to an expanded annual audience of over 45,000 visitors. As an artist-centred platform, dedicated to events content and networking.
