Canton of Lucerne reorganizes cultural promotion
The canton of Lucerne is reorganizing its regional cultural funding. The municipalities are to be given greater responsibility for promoting regional cultural projects.
In 2020, Lucerne held a broad consultation on the mandatory introduction of regional cultural funding. The results of this consultation were incorporated into the current message from the cantonal government on the further development of regional cultural promotion. According to the canton's media release, the obligation of the municipalities to promote regional culture was well received. The role of the canton as a co-financier is also welcomed.
With the planned introduction of regional cultural promotion, all municipalities undertake to contribute at least one franc per inhabitant per year to regional cultural promotion. At the same time, the canton undertakes to make an annual contribution of one franc per capita.
