The “Loi pour la promotion de la culture et de la création artistique (LPCCA)” is designed to foster and enhance cultural activities and artistic creation in Geneva. This law underscores the region’s commitment to nurturing a vibrant cultural scene, recognizing its pivotal role in societal development and the enrichment of public life. The LPCCA outlines a strategic framework to support artists, cultural institutions, and diverse cultural expressions, ensuring that Geneva remains a dynamic hub of creativity and cultural heritage.
The LPCCA articulates specific measures to provide financial support, infrastructure, and resources for cultural projects and artistic endeavours. It establishes criteria for the allocation of public funds to ensure that support is equitable, transparent, and conducive to artistic innovation. The law also emphasises the importance of accessibility, aiming to make cultural activities and artistic creations available to all segments of society, thereby fostering inclusivity and broad public engagement.
A significant aspect of the LPCCA is its focus on preserving and promoting the region’s cultural heritage. The document acknowledges that cultural heritage and contemporary artistic creation are deeply interconnected. Thus, it encourages initiatives that not only support new artistic expressions but also honour and integrate historical and cultural traditions. This dual approach helps maintain the continuity of Geneva’s rich cultural identity while allowing for contemporary innovation.
