Background
ART FLOW is part of Regionale 2025. The initiative ‘Regionale 2025, Limmat Valley project exhibition’ was launched in 2015 as a means of, among other things, conveying a trans-communal perspective on the entire region along the Limmat River and, as can be read on the initiative’s website, “to enhance the image of the Limmat Valley”.
Its eponymous association is supported by 17 communes, towns and cities, as well as the cantons of Aargau and Zurich. Regionale 2025 is intended to serve as a “driver of sustainable development in the Limmat Valley. Its activities help to give the region a broadly visible identity.”
