“We are doing what we can within our current budgetary framework, so that we can quickly support more now that many artists are losing large portions of their income. The measures mean that we redistribute some of the funding for grants and grants. At present, there is no possibility of international exchanges and travel, but an enormous need for support in other parts, ”says the Art Board's Director Anna Söderbäck in a press release.
The money that is now redistributed by the Artists' Committee is not part of the crisis support of SEK 500 million for cultural actors that the government has previously announced.
