Spreading Arts Across Rural Saxony's Countryside
Encourages Rural Art and Traditions Funding - Countryside Cultivation Advocacy by The Foundation
Hey there! You won't believe the good news pouring into the cultural scene of rural Saxony's backwoods! The Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony has been showering a generous support of 260,000 euros for the celebration of 124 diverse cultural projects, ranging from jubilant festivals to mesmerizing dance performances.
Are you an art or culture enthusiast from Saxony's remote regions? If so, you might have been one of the 415 applicants who sent in requests for the special small project funding. From individuals seeking a modest 500 euros to ambitious cultural carriers aiming for 5,000 euros, the foundation has got you covered!
Now, you might be wondering if this wave of cultural funding will continue to flow even next year. Well, brace yourselves because there's a high chance of another call for projects in 2025! That is, once the Saxon double budget 2025/26 gets the okay. The draft calls for a funding volume of 563,000 euros for the Small Project Fund in 2025. With total applications from the first phase surpassing 1.4 million euros, we’re in for a cultural boom in the countryside!
Last year, a total of 327 projects were blessed with around 800,000 euros from the fund - and this year's set to be even bigger!
