📋 Tender Overview
Arnhem is again taking significant measures to support the cultural sector during the corona period. After the first round in 2020 a second support package for institutions and makers will now follow.This involves 3 pillars emergency aid for institutions and makers a contribution to reopening safely and responsibly and support for innovation in the longer term. The contribution involves a total of 2.75 million.Alderman for culture Cathelijne Bouwkamp This allows Arnhem to support more than a hundred cultural institutions hundreds of makers and thousands of art practitioners in their spare time. In this way we maintain our diverse cultural offer for the moment we are allowed to go out again museums performances festivals street events and everything else that culture has to offer. Amateur art organizationsA selection of the measures For emergency aid 8 tons are reserved to absorb operating shortages at institutions. Private theaters museums and among others organizations for art classes are also supported. And just like last year amateur art organizations receive a one-off 1000 as a contribution towards costs or because of the loss of income.Entrepreneurs who want to organize a festival or event but still find the risks too great will receive support in how to do this in a safe and responsible manner. In addition there is help for the temporary housing of makers in the creative sector training of self-employed people and there is an extra budget for small projects for makers. This gives them a better view of work within the cultural sector.Future for the sectorThe innovation scheme will be worked out in more detail before the summer and will consist of a commission scheme for makers new forms of production and presentation and business cooperation. This will create new revenue models within the cultural sector and make the sector more agile and resilient for the future.Alderman Bouwkamp We have recently had many conversations with culture makers about the consequences of corona. What does it do to you when the rooms remain empty and the assignments dry up What do you need to be ready when everything will open again The answers have been valuable and educational and we have taken to heart. This broad package makes a significant contribution to the future of the cultural sector. I hope that the people of Arnhem will soon be able to enjoy all the beauty that Arnhem has to offer again safely and responsibly.
