The Aargau Board of Trustees has published its report on its support for current artistic creation in 2012. 693 applications (769 in the previous year, -9.9 percent) were processed and 393 of these received a grant (415 in the previous year, -5.3 percent).
As in previous years, the Board of Trustees' credit amounted to CHF 6,200,000. Excluding the eight institutions with which performance agreements for program contributions were concluded, the Aargau Board of Trustees granted an average amount of around CHF 10,960 per application in 2012.
In 2011, the comparative figure was around CHF 9,790 (again excluding the nine performance agreements at the time). Although the number of applications has therefore decreased, the average funding requirement of the projects has increased.
CHF 818,780 was awarded for jazz and rock/pop projects and CHF 807,300 for classical music projects. The highest amounts went to: Chaarts - Chamber Aartists Orchestra (210,000 francs), piano ag (50,000 francs) and Musik in der Klosterkirche Muri (80,000 francs) as well as KiFF Aarau (230,000 francs) and nordportal Baden (100,000 francs).
