With this call, president Kristel Baele opens the online annual report 2024 of the Council for Culture, published today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her foreword, she reflects on the challenges faced by institutions, artists, creators and audiences over the past year. For instance, she mentions rising costs, inflation and the looming increase in the VAT rate for arts and culture.&nbsp;<em>\"Nevertheless, we saw how the sector kept moving, buoyed by joint efforts, great adaptability and the shared belief that arts and culture are invaluable. This motivates us to remain committed to a resilient sector also in 2025.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual report also looks back at the 2024 opinions&nbsp;<em>\"With our opinions, we strengthen a rich cultural life and a diverse media offer.
