Mission & Vision
The Department of Culture is committed to a diverse and participatory cultural offering in Munich. It supports professional artistic and creative work, enables civic engagement and cultural education, and thus contributes to the cultural identity and social participation of Munich's urban community.
Target groups
The funding programs are aimed at professional artists and cultural practitioners (individuals, groups, initiatives, associations, and independent cultural organizations) as well as at civic-minded volunteers and civil society initiatives in Munich. The goal is to support innovative and relevant cultural projects across all disciplines that could not be realized without municipal co-financing.
