Towards a new cultural system?
On June 12th, there was a debate on culture in the Tweede Kamer (the Dutch House of Representatives). The previously anticipated ‘outline letter’ regarding the extension of the cultural policy period was not addressed in the Council of Ministers. While the conversation in The Hague is now mainly revolves around extending the subsidy period, the comprehensive advisory report ‘Toegang tot cultuur’ (Access to Culture) by the Raad voor Cultuur (Council for Culture) is also on the table.
