helvetika1575 Newsroom

About Us

Through a dynamic programme of exhibitions, publications, and interdisciplinary collaborations, the gallery is committed to fostering meaningful engagement among artists, collectors, and audiences worldwide.

Founded and supported by a private foundation, HELVETIKA 1575 is devoted to presenting and promoting the work of its artists, advancing their creative visions, cultivating their legacies, and ensuring their voices resonate within an international context.

The gallery is housed in a beautifully restored 16th-century palazzo in the heart of Zug’s historic old town, a site that once served as a medieval goods transshipment center, a testament to the city’s rich mercantile heritage. Overlooking Lake Zug and framed by the Swiss Alps, the space harmoniously bridges past and present through its architectural blend of history and modernity.

Within this unique setting, HELVETIKA 1575 stands as a platform for artistic innovation and cultural exchange, a place where heritage becomes the foundation for the future of contemporary art.
