The actions we support seek to train and qualify new professionals for acting, music, in addition to developing exhibitions, saraus and other activities that place young people at the center of artistic creation, and not just as mere observers.
Moreover, these are necessary actions for the preservation and dissemination of the Brazilian cultural heritage, especially that in the region. They also encourage community integration and greater civic participation.
Investment in local culture also contributes to economic development through innovation in creative economy projects and job creation.
Through the Culture Incentive Act, we sponsor cultural actions in the municipalities of Terra Santa, Faro, Óbidos and Oriximiná. Free events, open to the public, that benefit the entire population.
