There is no specific budgetary allocation for the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, the biennial festival of contemporary arts, in the State Budget for 2024-25.
The sixth edition of the event is expected to be held in December this year, and there were expectations that the Finance Minister would include assistance for it in the Budget.
A key organiser of the fest pointed out that there was no specific allocation as such for the Biennale in the Budget. The financial assistance would be included under the head of total funds earmarked for holding cultural events, he said.
