Progr, Cultural center in Inner City, Bern, Switzerland

The Progr Foundation manages a large building complex at Waisenhausplatz that contains numerous artist studios, exhibition spaces, and performance venues for creative professionals.

Originally built as a granary in the 1780s, the structure was transformed into a gymnasium and primary school in 1881 before becoming a cultural center in 2004.

The foundation provides workspace for artists across various disciplines while hosting exhibitions, concerts, theater performances, and educational programs throughout the year.

Located near Waisenhausplatz, the center maintains over 100 studio spaces available for rent to artists and features multiple venues for cultural events and gatherings.

The building's preservation resulted from a citizen initiative that raised 12 million Swiss francs through grassroots fundraising to maintain its cultural function.
