City of Basel promotes club and nightlife culture
The city of Basel is introducing a funding model for club and nightlife culture. It consists of program and infrastructure funding and night management.
The Musikbüro Basel association is responsible for program promotion on behalf of the canton. It is intended to ensure a "diverse and high-quality live program and improve the working situation of cultural professionals in the club and nightlife culture".
The Culture department is responsible for assessing infrastructure applications and providing advice and mediation in connection with the authorities. For example, smaller investments in the operational infrastructure should be made possible in order to defuse noise conflicts. On-site night management is carried out by the "Culture & Gastronomy" association on behalf of the canton.
Sandro Bernasconi will be responsible for club and night culture from April 1. He was responsible for the music program at Kaserne Basel from 2009 to 2021 and has conceived and managed several festivals, including the Polyfon Festival in Basel and the interdisciplinary festival "Landskron" in the border region between Switzerland and France. The trained lawyer was Co-President of the "Culture & Gastronomy" association from 2013 to 2022.
Roy Bula is taking on the role of night manager at the "Kultur & Gastronomie" association. Bula has been the program manager at the "Gannet" fireboat since 2021 and was previously the office manager at Holzpark Klybeck. At Musikbüro Basel, Claudia Jogschies will be responsible for program promotion for club and night culture. The music office will launch its first call for proposals for program funding in April 2024.
