In order to support the lower fee limits for artists in publicly funded projects, the Ministry of Culture and Science in North Rhine-Westphalia is now compensating organizers for additional costs. The state is providing a further three million euros for this purpose this year.
The ministry announced that this measure makes North Rhine-Westphalia the first federal state to support artists in this way. This additional financial injection is also planned for the coming year. Minister Ina Brandes explains: “Artists and everyone who wants to experience high-quality art and culture will benefit from the extra three million euros.”
