Slightly different from those implemented in 2023, the CULTURE II program plans for 2024 have been announced.
The Deputy Ministry of Culture (Department of Contemporary and Modern Culture) announces that within the framework of the “CULTURE II” Program, seven sector-specific Grant Schemes (funding for cultural activities of organizations and groups of individuals) have been announced for Literature, Visual Arts, Music, Dance, Theater, Traditional Culture, and Cinema, as well as a specially designed cross-sectoral Scheme for cultural creators, which will be implemented in 2024.
The aim of the Deputy Ministry through this Program is to provide opportunities and prospects for the realization of creative and valuable activities that promote and enhance culture and the arts.
