Municipal / District / Departmental Music Councils
The Municipal / District / Departmental Music Councils are part of the Councils of Artistic Areas, which were created from the Councils of Arts and Culture, in each of the artistic and cultural manifestations, in this case music, which are cultivated at the corresponding territorial levels (municipal, district or departmental). These Artistic Areas Councils are settings for the participation, dialogue and coordination between the relevant territorial authorities and the community of artists in the area of music, in order to advise on the policies, plans and programs of the issues that affect them. Initially the Arts and Culture Councils were created at the national level with the General Culture Law, and later in 2008 a paragraph was added to this Act indicating that the Governments and the Districts could create Departmental and District Councils for the Arts and Culture, in each of the artistic and cultural manifestations. From this, different Governments, Districts and also Municipalities have created different Councils of Artistic Areas. Bogota was the first district to do so in 2007, even before the specification for the General Law was made. However, because the law does not oblige the territorial entities to create these councils in any specific artistic area, but only leaves open the possibility, it is difficult to find with any accuracy the number of councils and in what territorial areas of the country they have been created.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
