Bavaria’s Ministry of Art announces that it will add 51.5 million euros to the federal government’s energy aid.
From now on, private and municipal art and cultural institutions can apply for the Bavaria bonus and the energy aid from the federal government. Because the rising energy prices are again presenting cultural institutions with existential challenges after the Corona crisis.
Against this background, the Bavarian Council of Ministers launched hardship fund assistance for art and cultural institutions and cinemas in December 2022, and they are now available. These hardship fund aids top up the federal energy culture fund as a so-called Bavaria bonus. “We are supplementing the federal government’s energy aid by 51.5 million euros,” said Minister of the Arts Markus Blume.
