artFAQ is in contact with numerous actors from the independent scene, funding institutions, cultural politics as well as associations, interest groups and teaters. We occasionally organize event formats for mediation, discussion and networking on production-relevant topics in the Zürich region in exchange with other actors of the independent scene.
CURRENTLY
PRODUCERS RESEARCH RESIDENCY
April 28 to 30, 2025 & July 7 to 9, 2025
In 2025, artFAQ will be offering two residencies for producers and production managers for the first time.
Are you collaborating loosely with other producers? Have you been wanting to work more closely together for a while, perhaps even in the form of a production office, but surrounded by your to-do lists, you don't have the time or leisure to organize your collaboration?
Then our residency might be just the thing for you: We want to give producers and production managers with a connection to the Zurich region a space to reflect on their working methods and structure. With the three-day residency, we want to encourage you to form alliances or develop new forms of collaboration in the field of production.
Application deadline has expired.

PAST EVENTS
PAM Meeting
Thu, November 21, 2024, PROGR Bern
We were very happy to work together with RESO and produktionsbande to be allowed to organize the PAM Meeting 2024. After an input from the production band, the participants had the opportunity to exchange their experiences, wishes and ideas for better networking and knowledge transfer.
YOUNG PRODUCERS TELL
August 21, 2024 at Brücki 235 and via livestream
Three young producers were the focus of this event. We spoke to them about their motivation to enter this profession, how they envision their future and how they pay their rent. What are their experiences in working with artists and what advice would they give to others who are planning to work in the field of production?
The event was recorded and can be viewed on our Vimeo channel . You can request the password via info(at)artfaq.ch .
