The annual exhibition is a major event each year and enables members to present their latest works to the public and offer them for sale. Over the years they have been held in various parts of Switzerland, from Unterseen and Walenstadt to Zermatt and even on top of the Säntis, but every now and then, as is the case this year 2009, we like to go back to the roots and exhibit again in Grindelwald itself.

The 16th exhibition was held in 2009 from the end of May to the middle of June in the Curling Hall of the Grindelwald Sports Centre. The first week coincided with not only the Eiger Live Mountain Festival but also the special Guest Week for Honorary Visitors, which was organised and hosted by the Grindelwald Tourist Office.

The exhibition was officially opened by the Mayor of Grindelwald, Mr. Emanuel Schläppi, on Whit Saturday, 30th May 2009, as part of the opening festivities of the Eiger Live week, with musical contributions by the Michel-Balmer Alphorn Duo. The winners of this year's competition "The Big Three - Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau" were announced and prizes awarded to the three winners. The formalities were concluded with aperitifs, viewing of the works exhibited and informal get-together of the artists and guests.
 

Except for 2001, all the previous years' catalogues are still available and can be purchased from the Secretariat for CHF 15.- / € 10.- (plus postage).

The exhibition jury, which is freshly constituted each year, has the responsibilty for selecting the works to be shown, based on their judgement of the quality of the works submitted and the constraints of the space available at the particular venue.

Artists wishing to join are invited to submit their work for consideration by the exhibition jury. Those interested should contact the Secretariat, who will send detailed information about the conditions of membership and the submission procedure. We look forward to hearing from you!
