As one of the implementing bodies of the Flemish<br />
Government policy, Arts and Heritage contributes<br />
actively to the development of high-quality and<br />
diverse (professional) arts and cultural heritage<br />
landscape. We commit ourselves to becoming<br />
a unique and central node of expertise. In our permanent professional<br />
development, future orientation, results, responsibility, enthusiasm and<br />
integrity are key elements.<br />
In the federal state of Belgium, The Communities have exclusive<br />
competence for cultural policy and its implementation. The Flemish authorities<br />
can issue laws to that effect, called Flemish Parliament Acts. The Flemish<br />
authorities can also conclude international treaties independently. There are<br />
thirteen policy areas within the Flemish authorities. The Agency for Arts and<br />
Heritage belongs to the Cultuur, Jeugd, Sport en Media (CJSM) (Culture, Youth,<br />
Sport and Media) policy area.<br />
The arts policy of the Flemish authorities is implemented by three<br />
organizations: the Agency for Arts and Heritage, the Flemish Literature Fund<br />
and the Flemish Audio-Visual Fund. Within the Arts Division of the Agency for<br />
Arts and Heritage, the Arts Flemish Parliament Act strives for an integrated<br />
approach to all artistic disciplines. The Arts Flemish Parliament Act focuses<br />
on the following art forms: performing arts, music, plastic and (multi)screen)<br />
audio-visual arts, architecture, design, cultural publications, new media and<br />
hybrid forms thereof. The Arts Flemish Parliament Act focuses on creation,<br />
as well as on presentation and participation. The Arts Flemish Parliament Act<br />
subsidizes individual artists (through projects, grants, creative commissions<br />
and invitations for workshops), art organizations (on a multi-annual basis) and<br />
workshops (labs, alternative management offices...).<br />
