€ 750,000 fund to support artists, local groups, councils, NGOs, and entities in Gozo for cultural initiatives

Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri has launched a funding scheme for cultural activities in Gozo, where € 750,000 has been allocated for this year, three times more than last year.

Minister Camilleri said these funds will continue to strengthen the cultural field in Gozo. He explained that “as a Ministry and Government, even against a background of a pandemic, we have not stopped helping local artists and groups to continue to roam and even propose various cultural activities and initiatives in Gozo, albeit with a difference. In addition, in the event of a pandemic, organizing costs is much more expensive. “

At a press conference, he also stated that financially the Ministry for Gozo will not stop encouraging active cultural participation, promoting local talent and even emphasizing the creative expression of the community.
