We are deeply concerned by recent announcements of cuts in funding for culture in the Pays de la Loire region. This decision jeopardizes the future of many cultural players, including the Festival des 3 Continents, which will no longer be supported by the Region as of 2025. A first in its 46-year history.
This decision marks an alarming political turning point for culture, an already fragile sector. The consequences are serious for cultural diversity, access to culture and the future of the many events that contribute to the identity and vitality of our region.
Culture is an essential vector for social cohesion, collective reflection and individual fulfillment within our society.
The Festival des 3 Continents, as a local cultural player, contributes to this public service mission.
On Monday November 25, the Festival des 3 Continents team will be present in front of the Hôtel de Région at 8:30 a.m., alongside all the cultural players mobilized.
