Investing in culture is economically valuable, but not with us ...

A Belgian professor was good enough to compare the own revenues by venues from the US, the UK and Belgium; in all three countries, the companies raise about 42% of their budgets themselves. The innovation professor also reiterated that research shows that investing in culture contributes to economic prosperity ... a wisdom that ... 

News from the national culture front

Positive news to start with: in The Hague, the municipality is doubling photographer/filmmaker Anton Corbijn's contribution to his youth culture fund Haagse Bluf by €75,000. Corbijn explicitly instructed the fund not to interfere in the subsidised cultural sector. So compensation for the cuts need not be expected. In Arnhem, the alderman is satisfied with the... 

Trouw: Ernst Veen fears big deficits New Church, Holland Symfonia in kicking seat

Ernst Veen Het commentaar van Trouw gaat in op de problemen die nu ook in de top van de kunstsector voelbaar beginnen te worden: Cultureel ondernemerschap kan mooie dingen opleveren. Ernst Veen, die in de hoofdstad De Nieuwe Kerk en de Hermitage Amsterdam als nieuwe tentoonstellingsruimten tot grote bloei bracht, is er een succesvol voorbeeld van. Gisteren beklaagde hij zich in… 

Sports sponsor pays top price, culture sponsor sits front row for a pittance and expects no less

The smallest opera company in the Netherlands beats the biggest. Not in visitor numbers, not in subsidy received, but in bringing in sponsorship money. On closer inspection, however, it becomes painfully clear once again that there is no giving culture in the Netherlands and sponsorship is limited to a pittance. A rattling giving law will not change that.

Een maand geleden vertelde intendant Guus Mostart ons dat ondanks juichende recensies en uitverkochte zalen de Nationa...

Red Bull: the ideal power boost for languishing museums?

"If 1 person can prove that by collaborating with Red Bull, a sixteenth-century painting thins out or falls off the wall, I will stop working on it immediately." Edwin Jacobs, director of Centraal Museum Utrecht, opened his doors to the soft drink manufacturer. Under the title 'Art of Can', the museum is exhibiting artworks made from Red Bull cans. "Red Bull gives you wings,... 

Going into the market without denying yourself - that's the issue

Sponsorship repels audiences. That could be a conclusion of the research carried out at Oerol by Inholland's Media, Culture and Citizenship and Media and Entertainment lectorates. With the central question "How can Oerol survive without government funding?", they are exploring the audience's reaction to commercial expressions. "The question is how to apply marketing strategies without... 

Visitation Committee Dutch Orchestras turns heel: "Dear Mr Zijlstra, culture is an essential part of civilisation!"

"Dear Mr Zijlstra, culture is an essential part of civilisation. It contributes to social cohesion and economic growth. The Dutch orchestras can make a major contribution, which, incidentally, is not synonymous with everything just staying as it was." Unlike the 'Table of Six', the talking shop of six arts bobos who, in their enthusiasm over an entrance at... 

"The VVD always stands up for the arts" - Guest column by Jeffrey Meulman on Rutte's bold statements

Jeffrey Meulman, directeur van Het Nederlands Theaterfestival TF, reageerde op de uitspraken van Rutte in Buitenhof, die ook op deze site te zien zijn. Vervolgens kreeg hij een brief terug van de VVD. Die brief, en zijn reactie daarop, wilden we u niet onthouden.
Werkelijkheid en politiek komen steeds verder van elkaar af te staan. De afgelopen week bezocht ik drie theatervoorstellingen in Baarn, Utrecht en Amsterdam. Op het toneel een voorstelling zonder subsidie, eentje met een beetje van de g...
