There are tremendous artistic and cultural resources in Baja California Sur, yet inadequate funding and public interest to move beyond basic programming and infrastructure. The advent of a state Council for Culture and the Arts (similar to those in other Mexican states) would encourage potential partnerships and funding that could benefit cultural activities. |
In Baja
California Sur, the National Council for Culture and the Arts (CONACULTA)
holds most of the responsibility for coordinating cultural
activities. The present state administration has created financial
funds[1]
for cultural projects, including the State Fund for Culture and the
Arts, Programs to Support Municipal and Community Culture, Special
Program for Children’s Culture, “Wings and Roots for Boys and Girls
in Baja California Sur,” and program to train art promoters and
artists.

[1] Mainly federal and state resources create these funds, municipal participation is usually based on materials and logistics, and financial contribution from the municipality depends on the kind of activity or cultural promotion to which funds are destined. By and large, municipalities receive the benefits from federal and state funds. |
