Handbook on cultural promotion in Ausserrhoden
Appenzell Ausserrhoden publishes a handbook that creates transparency about funding practices as part of the canton's 2025 cultural concept.
With "Förderung konkret", a new handbook is now available that provides guidance on funding practice. According to the canton's press release, a key component is the procedure in addition to the funding requirements and criteria. The most important change is that there are now only two submission deadlines for applications of CHF 10,000 or more - at the end of February and the end of August. Smaller project contributions can still be applied for on an ongoing basis.
The second part of the cultural concept is the "Perspectives" section, which reflects on the focal points of the last cultural concept and contains an overview of the resources used. The second part also captures the voices of various cultural stakeholders. They formulate their perspectives on cultural promotion in the coming years. Pictures by Bühler-based artist Regula Engeler give the publication a further perspective.
