The “K-KFördG 2001, Fassung vom 18.04.2018” outlines the legislative framework for cultural promotion in the Austrian state of Carinthia.
The Act establishes the Kärntner Kulturgremium (Cultural Commission of Carinthia), an advisory body to support the government in matters related to cultural policies and strategies. It envisages to integrate cultural heritage protection and safeguard of traditional cultural expressions into cultural policies, in order to ensure their transmission to future generations. Besides protection and safeguard, the Carinthian law aims at incentivising outstanding initiatives and actions for cultural heritage protection and meaningful contributions to cultural life by establishing annual awards.
Lastly, the Kärntner Kulturförderungsgesetz focuses on inclusivity and integration, by promoting dissemination and engagement with cultural heritage and ensuring accessibility.
