SIGN AND SHARE PLEASE Why this is importantSubject: Arts and Culture budgets, subsidies and others. Dear, After the September statement in the Flemish Parliament has shown that there will be pruned in the Arts and Culture Budget seriously. 1 Saving on art and culture, is this necessary? Nay. Thats like saving on income from the economy. 2 Carrying arts and culture to the economy? Yes. Arts and culture contribute to our economy. How? People wonder. Heres an example: A union is a cultural association that true theatrical design and the subsidies given for both the operation and to the organization of events, workshops, exhibitions and projects. A union so is investing in materials, insurance, advertising, food and drink services, tents, tables, chairs, clothes, volunteers and the like. A Society holds its annual event and as usual days a lot of people. Newly acquired income, the association can offer its members a lot. For this association A has a lot of costumes and props needed but also lighting, a rehearsal room and have to rent a hall for performances for example. Where does its association A necessary materials? With external companies mentioned here vendors. Suppliers deliver both materials and services. A club must pay the bill. A union so is actually a business. Indirectly suppliers enable this to work. Staff Income from association A so flow back into the economy. Or association A in an unincorporated association or an association, they contribute to our economy. Art - and cultural constrictions are in fact businesses. Without profit purpose. Indirectly, or directly, they provide employment. 3, decreasing the Arts and Culture Budget on our economy? What effect To go to a lot of clubs jobs. Indirectly Jobs are lost at suppliers. Associations should work with fewer budgets so that fewer orders are placed with suppliers. As a result, revenues from suppliers lower and that of a short-term loss of jobs. And that means more unemployment, a reduced purchasing power entails. Less purchasing power is again less turnover and less turnover then eventually loss of jobs. The effect of reducing the budget for arts and culture has so much more impact on our economy than just within that sector. 4 Limitation of creativity. Limiting creativity by reducing budgets does not only affect our economy but also on the creative itself. Use less talent is the result. Talent that both national and international influence. Thereby achieving less creative projects international image, which is just as important to promote our country and Flanders by foreign investors. Creativity one should not to be constrained. Creative people are often successful people. Less resources means therefore the loss of many talents. 5. Are we accept less budgets for Arts and Culture? Absolutely not. Therefore, we wish to be by the Flemish Parliament heard. 6 What is a hearing? At a hearing which will be heard, gets the chance to explain why he / she does not agree with certain decisions and policies of the Flemish Parliament. / Her arguments down 7 What can we accomplish this? It allows us to ensure that the Flemish Parliament either completely or partially returns to positions taken and decisions. 8 Who can be heard? Everyone. Also associations. So we want to be heard along with several associations and invite every organization that is committed in the Art and Culture Platform to participate in this hearing. 9 The more signatures, the more likely to be heard. When collecting 15,000 signatures an organization or the person it represents, are more likely to be heard. Therefore, we wish to collect at least. 15000 signatures We make a case to be heard. Along with these signatures, we make it over to the Flemish Parliament.10 associations can call you.
