Presentation Topic: Govt funding bodies - state

ABSTRACT:

I will be speaking on Cultural centre issues ­ art centres are related but the issues (apart from the usual ongoing funding ones) are more to do with the cultural centres. Some cultural centres should be designed for the community mainly while others are tourism ventures. The difficulty lies with the ongoing programming and activities associated with the centres as there has been too much emphasis on the facility , structure etc. at the expense of the programmes and therefore sustainability of the centre.
