The Bex Arts Triennial

Founded in 1981, the Bex Arts Triennial is a contemporary art exhibition distinguished by its unique and visionary format. It takes place in the Szilassy Landscape Park, offering an exceptional natural setting where the artworks - sculptures, installations, and performances - engage directly with the landscape. Bex Arts offers an immersive open-air experience, blending a cultural stroll with reflection on the often profound connections between art, nature, and the world around us.

The Bex Arts Foundation pursues an ambitious mission: to provide a national and international platform for visual artists, while also fostering exchanges with other artistic disciplines. Committed to contemporary creation, youth, and the preservation of heritage – both natural and built – it situates art within a pre-Alpine region marked by its industrial past and a changing socio-economic reality.

Over its 15 editions, the Triennial has established itself as one of Switzerland's leading open-air art events. Since its inception, Bex Arts has presented more than 300 artists and invited a wide audience – local, regional, and national – to take a fresh look at our environment by revealing the power of the dialogue between artistic creation and nature.

This year, the artists have explored a particularly bold theme: ‘Génies du Lieu’. Don’t miss it – it’s on for a few more weeks, until Saturday 3 October!
