New ways of promoting culture in Chur
In May 2017, the city of Chur launched a pilot project on the wemakeit crowdfunding platform for audiovisual artistic projects. From now on, artistic projects in all disciplines can be funded via the City of Chur's channel. The city of Chur is thus breaking new ground in cultural promotion.
The city of Chur supports cultural projects related to the city. This could be a radio play, short films, reading evenings or a book of poetry. Anyone who launches a crowdfunding campaign on wemakeit and reaches 33% of the funding target will receive the second third (maximum CHF 3,000) from the city of Chur.
The final third must again be raised via the crowd. Romansh projects are additionally supported by the Lia Rumantscha with CHF 1000. The Lia Rumantscha promotes and supports the Romansh language and culture throughout Switzerland.
Wemakeit and the city of Chur are inviting all interested cultural professionals to an information event on the project. It will take place on Thursday, November 9, 2017, at 5 p.m. in the Municipal Council Chamber at Chur Town Hall, Poststrasse 33. Registrations must be sent by Tuesday, November 7, 2017, to caroline.morand@chur.ch or by telephone on 081 254 44 10.
