Coyhaique Cultural Center and crowdfunding as a financing strategy

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze the possibilities of crowdfunding strategies as financing alternatives to the resource management processes of cultural spaces. For this purpose, the experience of the cooperative partner program "Red de Amigos de la Cultura" of the “Centro Cultural de Coyhaique” and its results are reviewed. The review of this case leads us to evaluate the feasibility of the various existing financing alternatives for artistic and cultural projects, such as the “Ley de Donaciones Culturales” and to reflect on the role of the State in Chile as guarantor of cultural rights.
