After two years, Mirage Gstaad in Gruben will be dismantled this week. If a new location can be found, there will be an extension for a maximum of two more years.
Kulturregion Obersimmental-Saanenland-Pays-d'Enhaut supports local people engaged in the cultural sector in the three regions with an annual sum of CHF 150,000. Because of the pandemic, however, there have been practically no cultural events for almost a year. A dilemma for the association. "We can only give money if culture takes place in public," explains the president of the association Matthias Moser.
From 5 to 7 March, collectors and enthusiasts were able to get a glimpse of the valuable private collection of découpages and pictures at Park Gstaad, which will be auctioned off in Basel on 24 March. In particular, the works by local artist Johann Jakob Hauswirth should attract potential buyers to the cultural capital – although auctions are increasingly migrating to the digital.
