Focus on rural areas: Funding from the Department of Art and Culture of the Province of Salzburg

The guest lecture offers insights into the funding programmes and structures of the Department for Art and Culture in the province of Salzburg with a special focus on funding for art and cultural work in rural areas. The requirements and procedures for funding programmes as well as specific calls for proposals for the regions will be explained. Another focus is on a practical discussion of how to apply for funding using examples of good practice. The topic of fair pay will also be addressed, with key questions being discussed: What are the current recommendations for artists and cultural workers in Salzburg? How does the province of Salzburg implement fair pay? The lecture offers practical insights into these topics and the opportunity for discussion afterwards.
