Mission & Vision

The Section for Art and Culture promotes social engagement in art and culture and strengthens the cultural community by providing cultural institutions with uniform standards, fair processes, and ethical principles for third-party funding. The goal is to preserve artistic and scientific independence, ensure diversity and sustainability, and improve access to art and culture for all citizens.

Target groups

The funding programs and guidelines of the section are primarily aimed at federally funded cultural institutions – including museums, archives, libraries, theater, music, and dance institutions – as well as all other Austrian cultural organizations that utilize third-party funds for projects, exhibitions, publications, or infrastructure. They serve as decision-making aids and quality assurance in dealing with sponsorships, donations, and collaborations.
