Culture is an important element of the country, playing an important role both for its security and the economy. It cannot be only seen as a cost-creating sector, but may be a significant factor in economic development. For this to happen, it is necessary to create a system of financing this economic sector. This article’s aim is to analyze the use of funds from public sources in Poland to finance culture-related activities. The analyses were based on data obtained from GUS, for the period of 2003 – 2014. Within the time period studied in this paper, expenditure on culture increased threefold, and as a share of total spending, exceeded 3% in 2014. The period of economic slowdown after 2009 brought with it less growth in expenditure on culture, which confirms that there is a relationship between expenditure on culture and GDP.
