The Aandaal Project's Community Interest Company (CIC) model creates sustainable, artist-centered support systems that bypass traditional funding limitations while ensuring community benefit.
Why Governmental Support Falls Short
Traditional arts funding faces systemic challenges:
- Bureaucratic delays in grant disbursement
- Political influences on cultural priorities
- One-size-fits-all approaches to diverse art forms
- Unstable funding cycles that disrupt planning
