Canton Aargau supports argovia philharmonic
The Aargau cantonal government is once again awarding operating grants to the argovia philharmonic orchestra, the Kultur in der Futterfabrik KiFF association, the Künstlerhaus Boswil and Murikultur for the next three years.
Operating contributions are made to argovia philharmonic (2017/18: CHF 337,000 per year and 2019: CHF 390,000), Verein Kultur in der Futterfabrik KiFF (2017/18: CHF 168,000 per year, 2019: CHF 195,000), Künstlerhaus Boswil (2017/18: CHF 295,000 per year, 2019: CHF 345,000) and Murikultur (2017/18: CHF 126,000 per year, 2019: CHF 145,000). The contributions are subject to the approval of the respective budget by the Grand Council.
Other institutions with cantonal operating contributions include the Fantoche International Festival of Animated Film, the Langmatt Museum, the Swiss Children's Museum, the Stapferhaus Lenzburg and tanz&kunst Königsfelden.
A total of nine institutions will be supported with contributions to operating costs. The overall budget for this has been reduced from CHF 2.325 million to CHF 2.0 million for the years 2016 to 2018. This will lead to a temporary reduction of around 15 percent in all operating contributions to cultural institutions, writes the canton.
