“Larnaca 2030”: Preparations Begin

Preparations are underway for Larnaca to take on the title of European Capital of Culture in 2030. Kelly Diapouli, Artistic Director of Larnaca 2030, emphasized the need for the official proclamation of Larnaca by the Deputy Ministry of Culture, as the decision of the Expert Committee is merely advisory. Subsequently, the staffing of the organization will follow, which is already underway with open calls for the position of General Director and Head of Communication and Marketing. The goal is to complete the key hires by March. The Deputy Ministry of Culture has already committed to allocating 10 million euros, while European funds are also expected, although the main volume of funding comes from national sources.
