Swiss pearl of honor culture
The Schweizer Ehrenperle Kultur is a sporadic honor given to cultural mediators by the Swiss cultural television ARTTV since 2005.
A special feature of the award winners is that they achieve a great impact in public with little financial means for their institution or cultural branch.

In 2008 she took over the development of the newly established Office for Culture. In doing so, she launched the culture magazine “Obacht Kultur”. Bürer has also been closely involved with the Kulturlandgemeinde over the past few years. When they arrived, the annual event already existed as a “small cultural community” that had been set up by Karin Bucher and Peter Surber. “I thought the format should be given more weight,” says Bürer. Therefore, she suggested to the government council to officially support the event as part of the government program.

Two years after starting work, the Haus für Kunst was expanded by an extension: in 2009 the Danioth Pavilion was added, in which primarily works by the Uri artist Heinrich Danioth are shown. In 2015 Zürcher received a scholarship from the Landis + Gyr Cultural Foundation and spent six months in London.
