Cultural Funding
Because of the governmental organisation of Belgium, cultural funding is not a federal, but a regional responsibility.
This implies that the Flemish government and the French-speaking government each have their respective funding bodies and the (regional) organisations that come with it, each responsible for culture in/from their own region.
At the international level, it co-manages with Wallonie-Bruxelles International (WBI) the agencies Wallonie-Bruxelles Design Mode (WBDM), Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques (WBM) and Wallonie-Bruxelles Théâtre/Danse (WBTD) responsible for promoting and stimulating the export of productions by companies and creators.
The Walloon agency for Exports, supports the presence of culture entrepreneurs in foreign trade fairs via a monetary contribution to Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques.
The General Service for Artistic Creation implements a policy of support, encouragement and promotion of artistic creation in the performing and plastic arts sector.
