ArtReview tells us that the French Culture Pass is being put on simmer:
The French Government has announced a 50 percent cut in their lauded Culture Pass, four years after its nationwide launch for young people aged fifteen to eighteen to take up cultural activities.
The legislation, signed by Prime Minister François Bayrou, the Culture Minister Rachida Dati and other ministers, sees the pass for eighteen-year-olds reduced from €300 to €150, while the €20 available for fifteen-year-olds and €30 for sixteen-year-olds and seventeen-year-olds will all be scrapped. A €50 for seventeen-year-olds and an extra €50 for eighteen-year-olds with disabilities or lower-income backgrounds will remain in place.
I need to correct their story: I wrote about it four years ago, and it was not, in any way, lauded.
