Culture Commission: Interventions in favour of the National Law on Patronage
The one who initiated the interventions in the commission was Federico Cermelo, director of the Observatory of Families and Youth of Congress and author of the Buenos Aires law on patronage: “Anyone who works in art or culture realizes that we need a law. Not only for the contribution, but because it is a bridge that tends to unite the needs of the artist, of the State that optimizes its resources and of the private sector that wants to cooperate with culture. It is a very positive feedback if it is well legislated.” “We are a branch of the State trying to generate one more resource for culture,” he stressed.
He also participated in the debate Emiliano Fuentes Firmaniresearcher at the National University of Tres de Febrero and co-director of Cultural Management Networks: “Patronage is not only a relationship between private parties, but a public-private partnership, based on tax exemption that seeks to stimulate investment in culture.” In this sense, he considered that “It is important that patronage promotes the development of small and micro cultural enterprises with federal and equitable scope among the provinces, to compensate for historical asymmetries.”
Other speakers were: Ricky Pashkus, President of the Hugo Awards Associationwho understood that patronage “brings a direct drop of stimulation towards young people, towards self-management, which defines economic independence, of living or to do work with what we love, and to federalize, by giving it a possibility of social mobility“He also expressed optimism: “This will bring future and change.”
Finally, he expressed himself Gustavo Grobocopatel, musician and businessman of the “Los Grobo” Group: “For this project to be revolutionary There must be a broad scope of the call with many incentives to enter and then there should be subsequent regulations that can limit it.Culture drives the country’s economic development, but we never saw it integrated into that and it could not be monetized.“It is a great challenge for Argentina,” he said.
