Kaustinen’s municipal government decided to propose granting a capital loan of 250,000 euros to the Folk Arts Centre, which is in financial distress, at its Monday evening meeting.

The matter will be decided definitively by the municipal council meeting next week.

Kaustinen believes that the inclusion of Kaustian violin playing on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage can bring an important role to the center.
