Hours: Wednesday–Sunday 1–6pm
Founded in 1974, the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève is a place for exhibition, discussion and reflection on contemporary art. A pioneer and reference institution on the Swiss and international art scene, the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève raises the major issues of our time.
A space for research and experimentation, the Centre presents to all audiences ambitious projects, often produced for the occasion, involving all fields of contemporary practice: installation, music, painting, performance, photography, photography, sculpture, dance, drawing or video art, with the Biennale of Moving Images as its high point.
During 50 years of activity, the Centre has presented more than 300 exhibitions of national and international artists, participated in the discovery of emerging talents or the rediscovery of established figures, hosted local artists in residence and organized numerous educational and socio-artistic activities.
During the renovation of its exhibition spaces (2025–2029), the Centre will take up residence at L’Arcade, located in the heart of Geneva on the ground floor of the Mont-Blanc Centre, just steps from the train station and the iconic Plaza cinema. Open to the city, this venue will host exhibitions in innovative formats and a storefront dedicated to contemporary creation. In parallel, the Centre will continue to develop a rich off-site and online programme in dialogue with Swiss and international institutions.
