HEARTBEATS IN THE CITY

Feel the heartbeat of Rapperswil-Jona.

14 September – 30 October 2026

 

For seven weeks, Rapperswil-Jona will become an open-air gallery.

Following a Heart Trail, visitors will discover unique works of art in the old town, by the lake and at selected partner venues.

 

Special Heart Spots invite you to explore, linger and get involved.

Each spot tells its own story and surprises visitors with a little Heart Challenge, creating encounters and unforgettable moments.

 

Every heart is one of a kind, designed by artists from Switzerland and abroad.
HeartBeats in the City brings together art, culture, tourism and community.

The exhibition breathes new life into the town and brings art to life for young and old alike, right in the midst of everyday life.

 

Feel the heartbeat of Rapperswil-Jona. Heart by heart. Step by step.

​

In our online shop you will find a selection of strictly limited and unique HeartBeats replicas in various sizes.

The HeartBeats Song

Art is what makes our hearts beat in unison.

And music also belongs to art. That is why HeartBeats composed a hymn
that carries our message of hope, joy of life and solidarity to should not only
make it visible but also audible.

 

“It's important to never give up,” says Carolina Caroli. "We hope that our message touches people and helps them to free themselves from the darkness and
to enjoy life again!"
