Structural contributions for Lucerne cultural institutions
From 2027, medium-sized cultural institutions in the canton of Lucerne will be able to benefit from fixed structural contributions. The cantonal government has drawn up a dispatch on this.
According to the canton's press release, the aim of the new proposal is to provide binding structural support for medium-sized cultural institutions, with the canton and local municipalities each bearing half of the costs. The structural promotion of medium-sized cultural enterprises in the canton of Lucerne is to be reorganized. The cantonal government is presenting a new, revised dispatch on this. This follows the Cantonal Council's rejection of Message B 126 "Further development of regional cultural promotion" to the Government Council in spring 2023.
At the heart of the new proposal is the new structural funding, which provides for financial contributions from the canton to recurring structural and operational costs of selected cultural institutions. On the basis of clear criteria and in cooperation with the local or sponsoring municipalities, the canton concludes trilateral performance agreements with selected cultural institutions. The prerequisite for a cantonal contribution is that the respective host municipality makes a structural contribution of at least the same amount.
