This call aims to receive and select proposals for contemporary artistic programming projects to be developed and implemented in the context of Braga 25 – Portuguese Capital of Culture.
Seeking to support and contribute to the flourishing of a greater number of independent cultural initiatives in the city of Braga, this call will support projects that envisage a proposal for regular artistic programming in spaces in the municipality of Braga throughout the year 2025. Proposals to be developed in non-institutional spaces, such as cafés, bars, shops, galleries, ateliers, bookshops, among others, and spaces that are not of the above types but have the conditions to host events (private gardens, workshops, garages, warehouses, among others) will be valued.
The call has a total budget of €70,000 (seventy thousand euros). Between 7 (seven) and 14 (fourteen) projects will be selected, to which support of €5,000 (five thousand euros) or €10,000 (ten thousand euros) per proposal will be awarded.
Applications run from 19 June to 12 September 2024 and can be made here.
