SCHOKOLADE

Ephemeral event celebrating the sensuality and gourmandise of chocolate

10 → 17 January 2026
Hosted on Musarthis.online
Complimentary access offered by the Swiss houses of Arthésie: Mardès, Mirasis, Chocolatésie

Presentation

Schokolade explores chocolate as an aesthetic presence, a delicate matter, a gourmand substance shaped by texture, radiance and sensuality. The cacao reveals its velvety surfaces and deep reflections; it inspires gestures, images and subtle impressions where gourmandise encounters artistic expression.

Throughout these days dedicated to the sensory world, Musarthis.online presents works that consider chocolate as a cultural, poetic and expressive material. Schokolade stands as a celebration of taste, sensuality and an inner elegance capable of enriching the imagination.

Access offered by the Swiss houses of Arthésie

This edition is made possible thanks to three Swiss houses of Arthésie:

Mardès, house of publishing, culture and transmission;
Mirasis, house of Haute Poétisserie;
Chocolatésie, Swiss house of poetic chocolate and gourmand literature.

Their commitment shapes a refined space devoted to art and the pleasures of chocolate.

International reach

Schokolade welcomes creators from all over the world.
The event is presented in French and English, the reference languages of this edition.
Visitors may use any translation tool if they wish to read the content in another language.

Call for creators

The call is open internationally.

Artists, poets and artisans inspired by the aesthetic or imaginative world of chocolate are invited to submit a work in dialogue with this universe.
Any form may be presented — visual, textual, sound-based or otherwise — as long as it explores a dimension of chocolate: sensory, symbolic, historical, imaginative, poetic, nutritional or cultural.

The submitted works are used exclusively for the Schokolade exhibition and for communication directly related to it. No other use will be made without the explicit consent of the artists.

Applications are accepted in four languages: French, Italian, English and German.
Each participant may submit up to two works.

Email: schokolade@musarthis.online

Submissions remain open until 24 December 2025 at midnight.
Only selected creators will be contacted individually.

Musarthis Creation Offer

A selection of creations conceived within the Musarthis network will be available during the event.
These pieces, designed around chocolate and its imaginative landscape, are entirely separate from the works submitted by participating artists.

A percentage of the sales will be donated to the Musarthis Museum to support its cultural projects and the works it accompanies.
