Summary/Abstract: Finding an appropriate model of financing culture, which will largely meet the objectives of cultural policy, cultural needs and expectations of cultural community, does not mean making a definite choice of some of the existing concepts of financing culture. It means finding different combinations of organiza- tional dimensions that correspond to the state tradition, socio- economic context, system of cultural institutions, relation be- tween the state and culture, economic development etc. In the process of modelling an efficient system of financing culture the attention should be paid to both: the cultural and economic demands. The basic model of financing culture usually repre- sents traditional practice that is difficult to change; reforms of the system of financing culture represent measures that have a prior corrective character, rather than radically changing pat- tern of financing culture. The paper discusses the various di- mensions of relationship between the state and culture with a special attention paid to the genesis of financing culture. It will be examining different concepts of financing culture and socio- historical context of their emergence. The final paper section deals with historical context, current issues and perspectives of the financing culture in Serbia.
