PUBLIC SUPPORT TO CULTURE IN PÍSEK

The thesis is aimed at introducing the reader with the cultural policy of the Písek town and the cultural organizations operated by the town itself. The thesis comprises a brief description of general facts about the historical development and contemporary situation of the state and regional cultural policy, which represent the base materials for the cultural conception for 2005-2020 to which the thesis is also dedicated. The major part of the thesis comprises description of the particular organizations operated by the town - Centrum kultury Písek o. p. s., Sladovna Písek o. p. s. and Městská knihovna p. o. The main intent of the thesis is to describe to functioning of these cultural organizations and to try to find out what advantages and disadvantages the town has had by establishing Centrum kultury o. p. s. (an institution involving almost all major cultural organizations in the town). My thesis is based on the assumption that this step has been disadvantageous for the town as well as for the particular institutions
