Culture Committee decisions, 24 October 2023
At its meeting, the Culture Committee discussed project grants and the need to promote cultural wellbeing through multidisciplinary cooperation with the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County.
Cultural project grants for 2023, decision batch 24 October 2023
The committee decided to award cultural project grants for various activities, including collaborative exhibition curation, the organisation of an international children’s choir festival, hospital clown activities, the creation of a dance performance for mental health rehabilitation clients, and the production of an event series that supports resident participation and the diversity of cultural activities. This was the last decision batch of the year, and the total amount of the grants was EUR 54,750.
In addition, the committee noted that it would be appropriate that art and cultural activities related to health and social services, such as hospital clowns, were more equally funded by the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County. Multidisciplinary cooperation is the best way to promote goals related to cultural wellbeing.
