The aim of the non-profit Sitterwerk Foundation is to operate and further develop a public center for art and production on the grounds of the former Textilfärberei Sitterthal (textile dying plant) in St.Gallen. The Sitterwerk Foundation includes the Art Library, the Material Archive, and the Studio House for guest artists. Felix Lehner, Hans Jörg Schmid, and Daniel Rohner established the foundation in 2006. At irregular intervals, the foundation organises exhibitions, workshops and conferences on the topics of books, material culture and alternative knowledge organisation.
