The “Carinthian Cultural Strategy 2030” is gaining momentum. On Monday, a cultural strategy triumvirate announced what will happen in the next two and a half years.
Learn and become smarter! For LH Peter Kaiser, this is the imperative for the next two and a half years, in which the cultural strategy should take concrete forms on a broad basis, “determining the priorities, showing opportunities for further development and developing and consolidating the unique selling points of Carinthia as a cultural region.” “Affordability and artistic development” The cultural advisor mentions the special location and mutual exchange in the Alps-Adriatic region as well as “affordability and artistic development” – two points that experience has shown are not easy to reconcile. This makes it all the more important to involve as many people involved in culture and creative people as possible in the work process – “in the interplay of cultural institutions, the independent scene, festivals and volunteers”, whereby for Kaiser, “important synergy creators such as business and tourism” should be on board as well as anyone interested. who have something to contribute. “Not a dream concert” Kaiser emphasizes that, in addition to the will to participate, there is also extra work in their own ranks, with the fact that Carinthia’s art and culture strategy cannot be: “A dream concert in which money is distributed that we don’t have. The Carinthian culture budget increases slightly every year. We have to make do with that!” The state is investing a total of 510,000 euros (204,000 euros gross annually) in the development of its cultural strategy. For Brigitte Winkler-Komar, a fairness package including fair pay in the art and culture sector is just as essential as digitalization, sustainability or the creation of depot space such as cultural infrastructure, “since the independent scene in particular needs space.” Engaged consultants What every good strategy needs is the competent view from outside. This is what the Munich consulting company actori GmbH, which has been in existence since 2005, promises. Having emerged as the best bidder after the Europe-wide tender, project manager Sebastian Lücke wants to proceed “first analytically, then participatively”. Over 360 projects for theaters, museums or orchestras, including the Albertina Vienna and the Salzburg Easter Festival, give actori a good rating!
