Cultural promotion 2023
Over €4.6 million for the promotion of independent culture in Chemnitz
For the current year 2023, there will be around € 4.6 million for the promotion of independent culture in Chemnitz. This was decided by the Culture Committee at its meeting on 20 April 2023 with draft resolution no. B-042/2023. The City of Chemnitz's Cultural Advisory Board had previously dealt extensively with the applications submitted by cultural institutions. A total of 113 applications for funding were submitted to the Kulturbetrieb.
Thanks to an increase in the cultural area budget, which was approved by the members of the Saxon state parliament in December 2022, the allocation from the state to the City of Chemnitz increased by almost € 800,000. With this increased funding budget, the Culture Committee was able to approve 100 grants for institutional and project-related cultural funding for 2023 from the total of 113 applications received, helping to mitigate the effects of inflation, particularly in the area of institutional funding. The funds for public projects by institutions, associations and projects will be channelled into the areas of museum work, performing arts, music, visual and applied arts, film/media, literature, socioculture, local history and youth culture.
By securing a reserve fund of €50,000, applications for small project funding of up to €2,000 can be submitted on the service portal of the Free State of Saxony Office 24. The application process is completely digital and unbureaucratic and is a tool for fast and uncomplicated project funding. A further €36,000 is available as part of an Artist in Residence support fund for the realisation of 12 artist exchange projects.
With the 2023 cultural funding, the City of Chemnitz hopes to put associations, initiatives and individual artists in a position to once again enable a lively, colourful and exciting cultural life in all its facets.
The promotion of art and culture is based on the valid guidelines of the City of Chemnitz for the granting of subsidies in the field of art and culture.
