The Department of Cultural Affairs’ governing principle

As the missing link between artists, organisations, and political decision makers, the Department of Culture Affairs also acts as a cultural mediator between the different departments in the city council of Graz as well as other local and federal cultural institutions.

In times of restricted funds, creativity and inventiveness are a necessary virtue. The department is constantly working on extending the services for artists. Increasingly the department supports artists not only financially, but also helps out with equipment, studio space and other important things.
