Cultural Organizations Criticize Arts Fund Board Over Contract Cancellations

Cultural organizations in Slovakia have criticized the board of the Arts Support Fund (FPU) for canceling certain contracts. The organizations are demanding that the FPU immediately sign contract amendments extending their agreements through 2026. The Arts Support Fund is Slovakia's primary state institution responsible for providing financial support to cultural projects and organizations across the country. The dispute appears to center on funding continuity, with cultural groups seeking assurance that their existing agreements will be honored and extended into the next year.
