The Mini-Projects Subsidy seemingly initiated in the latter half of 2019. It provides subsidies ranging from 500 to 5,000 euros for minor art and cultural projects, enhancing communal involvement reverently. The deadline for applications this year concluded, it was intimated. Applications for the succeeding year can presumably be sent approximately at the initiation of 2025.
The Governmental Arts and Culture Organization announced the introduction of a Cultural Project fund within the Mini-Projects Subsidy, aimed at supporting smaller initiatives. This new project will provide financial assistance to local communities, fostering a deeper connection with art and culture.
In addition to the major initiatives, the Cultural Project fund will offer opportunities for lesser-known artists and community-driven projects, further enriching the region's cultural landscape.
