In fiscal
year 2001, the State running expenditures for culture were around 22 million Swiss francs.
This
amount includes the expenditures of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs
 for the offices and foundations
under public law assigned to it, the contributions for promoting projects of the Historical
Society  ,
and support for cultural associations and special cultural projects. It also includes running expenditures
for the Music School , the School
of Art , and the Adult Education Foundation
. The State
not only contributes to running costs, however, but also provides the necessary infrastructure for cultural
life to unfold. The cultural expenditures of the municipalities
should
also not be underestimated, both through support of culturally active organizations, but also through
the provision of club facilities and projects relating to “Art in Construction”. The
cultural sector also benefits from private patronage and cultural sponsoring, which contribute significant
resources as a supplement to public financing. |
