Municipal support promotes cultural dynamism in the city
According to the proposal approved today, "Lisbon City Council's growing role as a facilitator and driving force in the city's artistic and cultural fabric is possible, not only through the qualification and intensification of the cultural offer at its facilities, but also by maintaining levels of funding for third-party activity".
The counterparts of each of the 30 program contracts, the document says, took into account the nature of the project, the organizational capacity of the entity, the estimate of its own income and the relevance of municipal support in the overall budget of the initiative supported.
The financial support is aimed at "increasing or continuing initiatives of municipal interest, promoted by 30 entities in the area of culture", and amounts to 375,303.67 euros:
