The narrative of the Minister of Culture about removing the membership of artists from the art credit fund is not true!

According to Fars News Agency, the Art Credit Fund has made news as the most important support institution for artists. In this regard, Tasnim News Agency quoted a conversation with the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, which you will read below.

Question: For some time now, we have seen tensions in the cyberspace where some artists have points and words are exchanged that indicate differences. As the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, what arrangements do you have for this synergy between artists so that we will see less of such fringes? How much did you try to create this closeness with the artists?

We have always asked our cultural and artistic society to move in line with our hopes, dreams, goals and ideals of the society; In fact, strengthen the convergence in the country. We expect the most from reference groups such as the people of culture and art in creating convergence, for example, things happen in the country if there is a negative approach in that way, a campaign by the forces that are outside takes place to influence the atmosphere inside.

In these issues and events, we have seen that some unconsciously contribute to the same cycle that others spin, but there are cases in the country that can be a point of consensus and empathy where some are not present. We try, we have dialogues and back and forth so that our cultural and artistic society has the greatest convergence and presence in issues related to national interests.

Question: Some believe that a distance has been created between the Ministry of Guidance and artists; They beat the drum of hypocrisy and escalation of tensions.

At the beginning of the autumn riots, we gathered 140 artists in Mashhad, and they expressed their gratitude. At the same time, they were attacked a lot, this is the movement that tries to put pressure on the artistic movement of the country with fake news campaigns and beat the drum of hypocrisy and disunity instead of synergy.

What is the story of removing some people from the art credit fund?

Question: There were even news about the removal of some artists from the art credit fund, which was criticized by people of culture and art, especially theater artists.

In the last two or three years, we had a plan to increase the number of members and raise the level of service in the art credit fund. These false and false news are also part of fake news behavior. This year, separate artistic degrees offer public facilities in the field of housing and treatment. Every actor and artist who has a problem or illness, the director of the art credit fund follows up and takes the necessary measures to solve the artist’s problems. Our foundation is to help the people of culture and art in all sectors in the field of media services, we expect the people of culture and art to be the leaders in creating harmony and convergence in Iranian society.
