FAT – The Art Association
FAT = Fair, FLINTA, Feminist, Famous, Fantastic, Free, Furious, Fabulous Artist Table.
​
FAT is a Swiss art association that has been advocating since 2016 for the equal and contemporary inclusion of FLINTA in the art world. Our aim is to create visibility, recognition, acceptance, and a voice for FLINTA through diverse activities and exhibitions—within the arts and beyond.
​
At the same time, we address art enthusiasts and the wider public: our exhibitions, talks, workshops, and cultural interventions open up new perspectives, foster dialogue on equality and diversity, and make artistic positions accessible that too often remain unheard. In doing so, we contribute to a vibrant, diverse, and reflective cultural landscape from which everyone benefits.
​
Through initiatives, projects, and events, FATart is committed to supporting the concerns of artists, curators, art consultants, gallerists, and art start-up founders—successfully shaking up the Swiss art scene.
