Work grants for Lucerne artists
The canton and city of Lucerne jointly support artists by awarding grants in the form of annual competitions. In 2014, they will go to fine arts and photography, composed music, theater and dance as well as programs by cultural event organizers.
In the area of "composed music", submissions from the folk music sector are also expected. This is in line with an earlier decision by the Competition Commission to become active in this field, write the city and the canton.
"Theater and dance" are important funding areas - especially with regard to the cultural funding planning report and the targeted development of a strong independent scene. With the "Programs by cultural event organizers" section, funding should also flow into the Lucerne countryside.
This year, the four juries have a total of CHF 250,000 at their disposal for work grants. The deadline for submitting dossiers is July 11, 2014.
