Fondation Vevey ville d’images contributes to the promotion and cultural development of the region in the field of visual arts, through the promotion of the “Vevey town of Images” concept. The Political Authorities created this concept in the 1990s to highlight the large number of companies and institutions related to image and visual communication that operate on the Vaud Riviera.In order to accomplish its missions, the Foundation has three main activities, which it finances and develops over a two-year period: the Festival Images Vevey, the Grand Prix Images Vevey and the Espace Images Vevey. The Fondation Vevey ville d’images brings together all its operational activities under the Images Vevey brand under a single entity.
