Symposium: Funding the Arts vs. Funding the Creative Economy – A (Late) Attempt at Mediation (Performing Arts Programm Berlin)
The impetus for this symposium is both the goal of connecting culture more strongly with the creative economy has been visible for quite some time as well as the associated fear that funding for the arts without economic earmarking could be replaced by funding for the creative economy. On the other hand, clear needs are also formulated within the independent performing arts community for clearer and more substantial access points to business funding instruments as well as for the ability to profit from creating new funding instruments that work in the spaces in between the arts and the creative economy.
To put it differently: We do not want to use any arts funding to fund projects in the creative economy, but are we betraying art if we apply for trade fair funding in order to attend a festival? Which funding instruments for business exist that could be of interest to the members and artists of the independent performing arts community and what needs exist? The symposium “Funding the Arts vs. Funding for the Creative Economy – A (Late) Mediation Attempt” attempts to foster an open conversation about unclarified terminology.
