Canton Aargau supports cultural institutions once again
The cantonal government has once again awarded argovia philharmonic, KiFF Aarau, Künstlerhaus Boswil and Murikultur operating grants for the years 2014 to 2016. It thus "confirms the importance of these private cultural institutions, which is at least cantonal".
The Culture Commission believes that all four institutions meet the requirements for the continuation of operating subsidies. As a result of the Government Council's decision, the following cultural institutions will receive annual operating contributions over the next three years: argovia philharmonic CHF 400,000, KiFF Aarau CHF 200,000, Künstlerhaus Boswil CHF 350,000 and Murikultur CHF 150,000. The operating contributions are linked to performance agreements with a term of three years.
The institutions supported with operating contributions can continue to apply for project support from the Swisslos Fund. Other institutions with cantonal operating contributions are the Swiss Children's Museum in Baden, the Langmatt Museum in Baden, the Stapferhaus in Lenzburg, the Fantoche International Festival for Animated Film in Baden and Tanz und Kunst Königsfelden in Windisch.
