Hospitality
Each year, the Haus am See hosts around 15 guests, most of which are Swiss artists or scientists. Some guests keep returning to the Haus am See, an indication of how comfortable they feel in the house and how inspiring they find the space in regard to their work. The board of the foundation invites two to three guests for visits of one to four weeks each year. Whenever possible, the board organizes meet-and-greets, readings, and/or discussions with these guests.
