Villa Sträuli
Villa Sträuli
Due in large part to its in-house concerts, which were well-known far and wide, the Villa Sträuli was already a lively residence during the lifetime of its founder Doris Sträuli-Keller. This tradition will be kept alive in the Villa's stylishly renovated facilities. Villa Sträuli offers space for thinking aloud and quiet contemplation under ideal working conditions. A place of hospitality and artistic exchange, the Villa aims to promote stimulating encounters between its artists in residence, the local cultural scene, and an interested general public.
Concert, festival or opportunity to participate in the Villa’s cooperative projects with various cultural institutions in Winterthur.
All three studios in the Villa Sträuli consist of a working space and a living/sleeping area. Soundproof workspace in the basement, 21 sq metres.
They offer 3 studios for artists and art professionals of all disciplines and backgrounds.
The City of Winterthur has 99'000 inhabitants and is located in the Greater Zurich Area. It is the sixth largest city in Switzerland and forms an independent economic, cultural and political centre.
