This manual is aimed at cultural creators from various fields: artists and graphic designers, musicians, filmmakers, writers, dancers, and other creatives. It is intended for those who need advice and contacts, professional equipment, and infrastructure for their portfolios, exhibitions, showreels, performances, and competition entries. In clear, everyday language, proven tips are offered: Where to frame your pictures beautifully, how to write a perfect application, and what secret tips and tricks other cultural producers use. The Cultural Office-White Book has answers to such questions and provides practical support for the realization of creative projects. It does not exist in a vacuum but is based on the real experiences gathered in the cultural offices in Zurich, Bern, Geneva, and Basel over the past ten years.
