Kunsthaus Glarus is supported by Glarner Kunstverein, which relies on members and, in particular, the support of the public as well as foundations and private sponsors. These financial contributions ensure the existence of the operation and annual programming at Kunsthaus Glarus.

If you are interested in supporting our institution long-term or on a project basis please contact our Director Melanie Ohnemus or Kaspar Marti, President of Glarner Kunstverein (office@kunsthausglarus.ch).

Kunsthaus Glarus is made possible by contributions from Swisslos Cultural Funds Canton of Glarus, the Municipality of Glarus, Glarner Kantonalbank, the Stiftung für ein starkes Glarnerland and the Glarner Agenda. Thanks to the support of the Glarner Gemeinnützige, Kamm-Bartel-Stiftung, Paul Schiller Stiftung, and Swisslos Kulturfonds Kanton Glarus we are able to implement our educational program.

    • Puppies Puppies (Jade Kuriki Olivo) – I’m Jade. I’m a trans woman trans womxn trans femme two spirit human being. Life feels long even though it hasn’t been all that long. A brain tumor surgically removed, getting divorced, losing my dad, brain tumor resurgence scare, starting hormone replacement therapy, experiencing sexual assault and rape multiple times and coming out as a woman. This exhibition is a roller coaster of the emotions feelings but also thoughts connections that happened over this span of time... only a little more than a decade. This exhibition covers the span of Puppies Puppies to Jade. It’s hard to get up each morning. My heart aches but I’m happy to be a woman. I’ll try my best to enjoy life even though society makes it difficult. From dust to dust I am but a speck on this planet and I wonder how to use this short life of mine. Trying not to let my trauma take over but still be kind to yourself Jade. This is the end of a decade • a new way of working coming soon. Sincerely, Jade Kuriki Olivo
