Papillarya is a collective of recently graduated Bachelor of Arts artists who come together to exhibit and curate art. We believe in creating synergies among artists instead of fostering competition. Our goal is to host at least one annual exhibition featuring the Papillarya Community, free from any application process.Additionally, we organize exhibitions outside the traditional White Cube spaces to connect with a broader public. We think art should reach people in their everyday lives and move away from being seen as exclusive. Papillarya is dedicated to forming a collaborative environment where artists of all backgrounds grow together and support each other. Our community extends across Switzerland. Open to new artists, established artists, art students, curators, and art enthusiasts. The annual fee goes to organizing our projects.
