art-werk is a non-profit association for the promotion and diffusion of art committed to contemporary social and environmental concerns. The association creates exhibitions and an open educational program, produces and offers free access to a regular podcast, articles and a newsletter focusing on the connections between art, science and societal issues. 

Based in Geneva, art-werk is made up of a interdisciplinary team and a committee of mainly volunteers; art historians, artists, scientists, computer scientists and human rights specialists. The association is looking for ways of mediation to share a sharp vision of contemporary art with a public of different ages, genders and sociocultural backgrounds. Through its nomadic activities and a multilingual approach in French, German and English, the association also participates in promoting artistic exchanges between the Swiss linguistic regions and neighbouring countries. The strong ties that unite art-werk with the city of Berlin, where part of the team works, allow the opening of a network of artists, academics and actors of the associative world and connect two complementary cities in terms of international organization and multicultural artistic practices.
