Münsterland Art and Culture Foundation

The Münsterland Art and Culture Foundation aims to promote and preserve art and culture in the Münsterland region. As a regional foundation, it is located between local sponsors, community foundations, the funding opportunities of local/regional companies and the foundations and cultural sponsors operating throughout Westphalia or the state.

Committed cultural work, particularly in rural regions, is largely organised by semi-professional initiatives with a high level of voluntary commitment. However, they are oftendenied access to established cultural funding .Sponsorship money can also only be obtained to a limited extent.

Against this background, the Münsterland Art and Culture Foundation aims to close the gap between local commitment and established cultural funding. The business of the Stiftung Kunst und Kultur Münsterland is managed by the Kulturbüro Münsterland.
