Time offline
Time is our currency in St. Niklausen therefore we offer private time slots, hourly, daily, weekly slots where you can really connect with the art on display, time to foster dialogue to discuss and debate art and itās production conditions in these troubling times but also a time to celebrate art, far away from usual gallery, art fair talks and atmosphere. All our time slots are combined with the well known hospitality services of THE PROPOSAL this will make your stay truly holistic and immersive.
With your stay you support our artists
The profit from the stays, as well as from any artwork sales is used to pay the remaining artists as well as create production bursaries. This generates basic income for the artists of the association, providing a financial viability for an artist career.
