Cultural business

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On the one hand, a cultural establishment refers to an individual cultural institution in which culture takes place in an organized form (e.g. theater , museum ), and on the other hand, it also includes the entirety of organizations and institutions that deal with the production and communication of culture.

In the cultural sector, culture occurs in four dimensions:

  • Culture as a human asset and its documentation (e.g. natural history museum)
  • Culture as behavior (e.g. associations)
  • Culture as art (e.g. book trade, film, orchestra)
  • Culture as education (e.g. music schools)

From a legal point of view, there are three groups of cultural establishments:

1. public cultural establishments in public ownership (e.g. state theaters), public institutions (e.g. broadcasting companies) and foundations under public law
2. Non-profit cultural enterprises under private law - internationally referred to as non-profit organizations (e.g. art associations); Although these are organized under private law, they do not pursue any economic purposes
3. private-law-commercial or private-economic cultural establishments (e.g. film distribution); This is primarily understood to mean companies that produce or convey culture

From a purely legal point of view, all three groups can be set up largely equally. The procurement and sales market are also the same, and in some cases all groups have the same sources of finance. Only for the first two groups are questions about cultural funding added.
