From 2010 to 2013, the canton of Uri supported theater(uri) with an annual contribution of CHF 200,000. In order for the support to continue, a new credit decision by the cantonal council is required. The aim is for the loan to be approved by the cantonal council by the end of the year.

The Heinrich Danioth Art and Culture Foundation supports artists who have grown up, live or are entitled to reside in the canton through annual calls for proposals and the corresponding annual exhibition in the Haus für Kunst by providing studio grants (New York, Berlin), the Uri Year of Art, sponsorship and project contributions as well as work purchases and commissions.

The canton wants to formally simplify the foundation's cumbersome regulations, which have not been revised since 1981. The division of responsibilities between the canton and the foundation is also to be reviewed in terms of content.
