The Gozo Cultural Events Fund Scheme worth €250,000 has been launched by Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri

The Minister said that this amount will come from a € 900,000 fund which is earmarked for cultural activities and initiatives organised by the Ministry for Gozo.

The Gozo Cultural Events Fund is a Ministry for Gozo measure for community-led creative and artistic activities in Gozo.

It provides the opportunity for the development of artistic projects led by the community for the community, while celebrating cultural diversity, the Minister said.

“The fund is looking to co-finance projects which encourage active cultural participation, promote local talent and boost the community’s creative expression or appreciation of its identity,” he said.

The Objectives of the Gozo Cultural Events fund are: • To enhance Gozo’s Cultural Calendar. • To support creative and innovative initiatives in Gozo by individuals and organisations with the objective of promoting Gozo through its tangible and intangible cultural heritage. • To promote cultural understanding in a diverse society. • To encourage active participation of local communities in the culture and arts sector.

The Director of Culture John Xuereb said that the applicants may be voluntary organisations, independent individual, or group, entities and local councils who wish to put up some cultural activity. The applicant must also be a Maltese citizen and have a permanent address in Gozo.

The Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri thanked the Directorate of Culture for their dedication in organising these activities.
