Get matched →TaDA – Textile and Design Alliance is a cultural funding program launched in 2020 by the cantons of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, St.Gallen, and Thurgau, now organized as an association since April 2026. It enables experimental and innovative engagement with Swiss textile and design culture in collaboration with textile companies and cultural organizations across eastern Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
The program annually offers six residencies to national and international artists. Residents develop projects in art, design, architecture, literature, performance art, or transdisciplinary contexts. Textile companies and institutions provide their expertise and technology as program partners, enabling practical-artistic work and applied research. Work results are presented to the public at various events.
The residency is aimed at artists and creatives from all disciplines with demonstrated interest in the textile industry, textile culture, and sustainability. Technical knowledge of textile production is advantageous. Projects with pronounced experimental direction are especially welcome.
Applicants must include project sketches that clearly articulate the connection to TaDA partner organizations in their application materials.
