Ramseyer Dayer Foundation

Ours is an inviting house, meant to be built, inhabited, explored and experienced

History

The Ramseyer Dayer Foundation is a private institution established in June 2008, with centre in Esperanza (Santa Fe), Argentina.

It is the homage that Inés Ramseyer Dayer has decided to give to her parents, Angela Dayer and Ernesto Ramseyer, and to the city that shaped her, installing it in the family home an innovative and dynamic space that works in favor of the promotion of art, and where freedom and excellence are its only horizon.

The Ramseyer Dayer Foundation, FRD, is a house that invites to be built, inhabited, explored and experienced by artists and visitors, so that they can question themselves, think, enjoy and find themselves being part of our infinite shared realities.

The Foundation is always open to the interests of citizens and provides the city and the region with a space where reality can be interpreted, where the work of various artists in different fields can be enjoyed, and where intellectuals, writers and people who have a message to convey can be heard.

Artists exhibit their works and dialogue with the visitors. The spectator can ask and wonder about the themes that make the man, can enjoy and be moved by the artistic manifestations that are exposed here.   

There are plastic art exhibitions, film shows, meetings with writers and thinkers, talks with artists, courses, workshops, debates, reading meetings, concerts, recitals, etc.  

The FRD is in contact with other institutions in the region, such as the Litoral National University, signing collaboration agreements and establishing relations with cultural institutions in the city and the region. 

In its founding statutes, it is established as an initial condition that no political or religious affiliation is involved in any of its activities. With a great effort of management, it is supported, until now, with its own funds.

MISSION

Faced with a world in permanent fluctuation, crisis and reformulations, the Ramseyer Dayer Foundation raises the need to look at ourselves in order to meet, to discover, to rediscover ourselves through art, understood as the freest and most sincere form of expression, where we can ask ourselves what we are, what we were, what we are becoming, what we would like to be.

Ramseyer Dayer Foundation conceives culture as a strategic resource to achieve human and community development, which makes it fully formative.
Its halls are inhabited by plastic and photographic exhibitions, concerts, meetings with artists and thinkers.

Should be noted the possibility of training, through its courses and workshops, as well as the opportunity to acquire photographs, objects and works of artists from the region.



VISION

Consistent with its mission, the Ramseyer Dayer Foundation supports the vision of working towards artistic and cultural development, promoting actions among the plastic arts, music, literature, film and photography; understanding artistic manifestations as ways of being in the world, interpreting and acting in it.
The Foundation aspires to:

  • build a strong institution, recognized by the quality and opportunity of its contributions in the diffusion of culture.
  • promote innovative and interdisciplinary visions, in which each discipline contributes with its view on contemporary issues.
  • reach a wide audience with different ages and interests, especially in the development of the spirit of young people, with responsibility, coherence, authenticity and excellence.
  • be a fully formative institution, which uses its annual programming to disseminate the work of artists and authors, promoting respect and consideration of cultural diversity.
