The province has discussed with the municipalities which institutions can use support. Municipalities have collaborated and nominated cultural institutions in a regional context for a contribution from the fund. By joining forces municipalities and provinces can support 100 institutions to get through the Covid-19 crisis. The institutions are spread throughout the province from Texel to Haarlemmermeer and from Hoorn to Hilversum.Zita Pels Deputy for Culture Noord-Holland has a lot to offer in the field of culture. This offer is very valuable and residents and visitors enjoy it. In addition the cultural sector is an important employer. The sector is doing everything it can to continue to receive a public within the current possibilities. I admire the patience the creativity and especially the perseverance. It is clear that the need extends across the full breadth of the cultural sector and that it will still be there in 2021 if not even greater. The municipalities and province will use the remaining budget to limit subsequent damage to cultural institutions in the first half of 2021. The focus will be on medium-sized stages and museums.
