The Slovakian video and performance artist Tomas Rafa is a guest for three months at PROGR. The former high school in the centre of Bern's old town gained publicity as a result of the vote in 2009. The association composed of artists, gallerists, and institutional representatives has co-ordinated the running of the studios and exhibition space since the vote. The Stadtgalerie, as part of the association, runs the artist-in-residence studio together with Pro Helvetia, and provides a guest programme for musicians, artists and writers.
