LIVING MUSEUM × OPEN INVITATIONAL
Thank You! What a special week in Basel! With LIVING MUSEUM × OPEN INVITATIONAL, we brought together artists, Living Museums, and progressive studios from Switzerland, Europe, and the United States during Art Basel Week. We are especially happy to have built a bridge across the Atlantic, creating new connections between nonprofit initiatives and open studios working at the intersection of art, mental health, and Social Arts. Our heartfelt thanks go to all participating artists and organizations, our partners, supporters, volunteers, and contributors – and, of course, to all our visitors who brought these days to life. A particular highlight was our series of fully booked panel talks, bringing together diverse voices from art, culture, mental health, and Social Arts and opening up valuable conversations around collaboration, participation, and sustainable structures. We take with us many meaningful encounters and new connections – and look forward to carrying them forward. Thank you to everyone who was part of it!
