Valais funding model is a success
The canton of Valais draws a positive balance with trilateral pilot agreements that were concluded with the Ernen Music Village Association, among others.
The funding model, which brings together the canton, the host municipalities and the cultural institutions concerned, has «proven its validity in terms of funding stability, medium-term development and administrative simplification», writes the canton. An expansion to other structures is planned from this year.
The trilateral agreements between the canton, the municipalities and cultural institutions launched as a pilot project in 2023 are intended to strengthen cultural institutions in the long term by securing them a fixed, predictable funding framework. This is based on clear objectives and offers measurable indicators such as artistic activity, attendance figures, cultural mediation, working conditions, equal pay and sustainability. According to the canton, the controlling carried out after three years has shown clear positive effects.
