Stabilność finansowa instytucji kultury na przykładzie wojewódzkich teatrów i instytucji muzycznych
Financial Stability of Cultural Institutions Based on the Example of Voivodeship Theaters and Music Institutions

Summary/Abstract: Cultural institutions are organizations whose scope of core business comprises activities in the area of broadly understood culture. The aim of this article is to evaluate the financial stability of voivodeship cultural institutions, like theaters and music institutions, in the light of direct subsidies to those institutions from organizers. The hypothesis is that subsidized cultural institutions in Poland have a stable financial situation. Due to the fact that revenues and operational costs are unbalanced, it is actually the subsidy that should let those institutions continue operational activity in a stable environment with independence in operational and financial decisions. In the context of the financial stability definition adopted in this article, the observation is that the level of subsidies for voivodeship cultural institutions does not guarantee the completion of statutory tasks in all examined institutions.
