BOZAR (Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels) & ECHO (European Concert Hall Organisation) are pleased to invite to their upcoming seminar on “Funding for the Arts in Challenging Times”, co-organised with PROMETHEA. Taking place on 28 November 2012 at the BOZAR in Brussels, it will explore the following questions: With reducing public subsidies for the cultural sector and governments offering less fiscal incentives for giving, how will European Arts and Cultural institutions survive in the future?

Sessions to include: • “Developing a good balance between direct and indirect public support for arts and culture” • “Fiscal Policies for Encouraging Private Support to Culture in European Member States” • “How are Funding Departments of European Art & Cultural institutions facing changing times?” • “Mission funding: developing reciprocal partnerships between the cultural and private sectors” Find more information online or email echo@bozar.be.
