Champing Cultural Vibes in Saxony's Countryside
Encourages Rural Arts and Traditions Funding - Encouraging Rural Art and Tradition Expansion
Let's talk about some exciting news for culture enthusiasts in rural Saxony! The Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony has showed some serious love, forking over a whooping 260,000 euros for a whopping 124 cultural projects nestled in the heartland.
From singing and dancing extravaganzas to art exhibitions, the projects cover a wide range of creative expressions - and we're stoked to see it all unfold! Each project, whether big or small, will receive between 500 to 5,000 euros, and let's just say the rural areas of Saxony aren't playing around with their artistic ambitions - they've submitted an astounding 415 applications for small project funding. Quite ambitious, don't you think?
Although the foundation has released the funds, the second round of calls for proposals likely won't hit your inbox until after the adoption of Saxony's 2025/26 double budget. Sadly, we'll need to be a little patient for more creative opportunities, but once that budget gets the green light, there'll be a funding volume of 563,000 euros available for 2025's small project fund, embracing the artistic talents of the countryside!
Just a quick reminder, last year, the fund dished out around 800,000 euros to approximately 327 projects[1]. So, the creativity and passion in the rural areas are alive and well! We can't wait to see what this round of funding will bring!
