| Abstract [eng] |
It explores all the avenues of support through a range of programmes run by the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education and Science and the Press, Radio and Television Support Fund (SRTRF), applying for grants under the Culture and Publications Programme by the Fund. Though artseria is not among the leaders enjoying the biggest financing under the programme, Dailė ranks, in the reports developed by the Fund, among the most valuable Lithuanian cultural periodicals, such as Kultūros barai, Šiaurės Atėnai, Krantai, Lietuvos fotografija, Archiforma and Teatro scena. Lithuanian book market is desperate for changes: it is waiting for a stronger legislative foundation and taxing policy, for revisiting of criteria applied to state financing of publishing and grant allocation, for closer cooperation between publishers and bookselling, for legal regulation of the monopoly policy in bookselling – and above all, for harnessing of unemployment and emigration, so that books may have their readership. |
