Additional assignments in public space

The cultural sector consists of about 60 percent self-employed people, both creators and support positions. Specifically for this group, the municipality will provide temporary commissions for art in the public space. The executing party is Kunstpunt, which can call upon other parties and independent artists for this purpose.
