Culture Fund From Support to Consciousness Industry
Author: الدكتور زيد احمد المحيسن

Culture, in its deep meaning, is no longer a seasonal activity measured by the number of events, nor a symbolic speech that is invoked when necessary. Instead, it has become a conscious institutional act, in which the state's vision for itself, its people, and its knowledge-driven future is manifested. In this context, the cultural and artistic movement support fund gains its importance as a national tool to translate this vision into practical practice, by supporting quality projects capable of making a tangible cultural and societal impact. The Minister of Culture, as the chairman of the fund’s board, emphasizes activating the mechanisms for receiving support requests according to regulatory frameworks, to lay the groundwork for a phase where culture advances from the logic of care to the logic of investing in consciousness, where support is not granted as an aid but as a bet on a project that carries knowledge value, social viability, and true potential for contributing to sustainable cultural development.
From this standpoint, the call to employ technology in cultural projects stands out as an expression of an advanced recognition of the role of cultural industries in energizing the creative economy and linking creativity to national production without compromising the essence of cultural identity. In its humanitarian aspect, this vision manifests through inclusive initiatives such as «Scent of Color», which redefines cultural participation by enabling the visually impaired to engage in artistic expression, affirming that culture is not complete unless it is fair, inclusive, and capable of listening to all voices.
In this sense, the cultural support fund does not merely become a financing channel, but transforms, through its conscious activation, into a platform for creating awareness, and into a practical expression of culture as a soft power, a state responsibility, and a long-term investment in humanity, identity, and the future..
