Cultural Offerings – "Drastic Decline"

The Musicians' Union Chairperson Karin Inde criticizes the government for having "initiated the dismantling of Sweden's public cultural support before functional alternatives are in place".

Indeed, the government's initiative to increase private cultural financing is welcome, but it is "a long-term effort".

"What I see in next year's cultural budget makes me very worried," she says in a press release.

The cuts in support for study associations will force rehearsal rooms to close, according to the Chairman of the Musicians' Union. She also criticizes the lack of cost-of-living adjustments for concert halls and organizer associations, as well as a saving of 14.5 million kronor for "the infrastructure of the free cultural life".

"It is devastating and will lead to a significant decline in cultural offerings in Sweden, both nationally and internationally," she says.
