爱沙尼亚政府将为作家发薪水鼓励创作

想要申请这项资金支持，作家和美术家需要提交他们的作品选辑和一份个人陈述，他们还必须概述自己未来几年的创作目标。

State salaries for the arts are rare, and the most that artists can usually hope for is a grant or bursary which gives financial security for a short period. In Ireland, for example, the Arts Council offers up to 15,000 euros as a single-year literary bursary.

国家为艺术活动发薪水是很少见的，通常来说，艺术家们能指望的最佳情况就是有补助金或奖学金可以用来维持短期生计。比如在爱尔兰，艺术委员会(Arts Council)每年提供多达1.5万欧元的文学奖学金。

That's something Estonia is trying to change, with Culture Minister Indrek Saar saying that the proposed salary offers security that one-off arts grants do not usually provide. Competition for the 10 salaried posts is expected to be "fierce", according to director of Tallinn Art Hall Taaniel Raudsepp. "Our aim is to find people who are at the peak of their creative powers," he says.

而爱沙尼亚正试图改变这一现状。文化部长因德雷克·萨尔(Indrek Saar)说，一次性的艺术补助金通常无法提供的保障，爱沙尼亚提出的薪资建议可以提供。塔林艺术宫(Tallinn Art Hall)主任塔尼尔·罗赛浦(Taaniel Raudsepp)说，预计10个支薪职位的竞争将十分“激烈。他表示：“我们的目标是要找到那些艺术创造力处在巅峰的人。
