New performance contract for Bern's cultural agenda
Bern's municipal council has approved the service agreement with the Berner Kulturagenda (BKA) association for the years 2024-2027.
The BKA association receives annual funding of CHF 75,000 for the operation and maintenance of a comprehensive, digital cultural events calendar. The aim is to provide the population of Bern with "a low-threshold and free overview of the city and regional cultural offerings", writes the City of Bern.
The Verein Berner Kulturagenda (BKA) is an association of around 250 cultural institutions in Bern. The association is financed by membership fees, contributions from municipalities and the canton. With the dissolution of the municipal association Anzeiger Region Bern at the end of 2023, the BKA lost its sponsoring medium. The association has therefore reoriented itself and developed a new online agenda. Editorial contributions and the publication of the BKA in printed form are financed by member contributions.
